Between them they straddle the corners of four squares, but they seem to take up more space on this square than the others. This picture was taken from outside the office buildings at NO098222.

Pitheavlis office building

Looking down at the main entrance. The building is stepped into the hillside, with the entrance on the fourth floor. To further blend it into its surroundings in accordance with planning regulations, rooftop gardens were planted (and are still maintained) on the lower floors. The building was completed in June 1983 as the head office of General Accident. The architects were James Parr and Partners of Dundee. For a close up of the water features next to the entrance see NO0922 : Ornamental fish pond
