The buildings are called the pyramids. Funny huh.But why?
Read on Twitter that it’s causing massive tailbacks because people are slowing down to see it.
Lol. Phare do’s.Pharaoh Nuff ?
Are you looking in Green Brigade? That's how you use a font!

Which won’t help the environment, contribute to global warming and, well, you know the rest.Read on Twitter that it’s causing massive tailbacks because people are slowing down to see it.
Get knitting those scarves...That looks fantastic. I think the horses heads in Falkirk need decorated.
Now I think about it they look like the M Motorola logo. MMMM. A bit.That's brilliant.
Wee bit of info regarding the "Pyramids"
When they were first built they cost approximately £280,000.
The material they used to build then was the dirt that was dug out from the foundations to build Motorola.
They commissioned and "Artist" (hence the hefty price) to come up with an Idea on how to make the piles of dirt look attractive from the motorway.
The original name of the piece of work was the "Saw" as it is meant to resemble saw teeth.
Idiots would pay someone and have ended up with Terry Munro.Are you looking in Green Brigade? That's how you use a font!
Nice clear lines, no confusion, no neic.
I bet they would even misspell 55 if they tried.
They can souk ma boaby.Some of the comments on Twitter are quite bazaar.

I seen that wee scud book Humza Yousef was saying nurses were scared to walk the streets on Sunday - honestly man these people!“Rangers fans delay key workers travel this morning including NHS staff, thus potentially disrupting vaccine roll out and extension to lockdown.”

If you stay around about Bathgate or Blackburn, your lamposts are well decorated this morning.
Hopefully will reappear, sometime!Its gone. I was going along the M8 about 3 and looks to be smudged out
The reason I knew that info, was due to me being employed as an Engineer at the factory. On the notice board it told you about the Artist who designed them. For the life of me I cannot remember the name, I think it was a female.Now I think about it they look like the M Motorola logo. MMMM. A bit.
me too!The reason I knew that info, was due to me being employed as an Engineer at the factory. On the notice board it told you about the Artist who designed them. For the life of me I cannot remember the name, I think it was a female.
Quite a few workers question the cost of the project, stating that local community groups or charities would have been thankful for that amount of cash.
Apparently the cost to dispose of the dug out material would have been more, than the £280,000 for the project .
That's brilliant.

Another little bit of info.. The artist would not allow any mechanical grass cutters on them. So the solution was to let the local farmer let his sheep graze on them, to keep them trimmed.The reason I knew that info, was due to me being employed as an Engineer at the factory.

The Pyramids are a land sculpture alongside the M8 motorway at Bathgate.
Originally named the "Sawtooth Ramps", it was sponsored by Motorola and formed part of the M8 Art Project.[1] The sculpture was created by artist Patricia Leighton in 1993. It is 1,000 feet (300 m) long and consists of seven 36-foot (11 m) high ramps made of earth and seeded with grass. The artist based the design on local geographic features (drumlins) and the shape of the surrounding bings.[2] Sheep are grazed on the structure which keeps the grass short. The pyramidal shape of the sculpture gave rise to the name of the nearby Pyramids Business Park.[1]
