Doon The Watter - 25th June 2011 - Erskine Bridge Hotel
Formerly the Crest Hotel, Erskine. Architects : Morris and Steedman, 1970-71.

Wow! There's potentially enough material here for an dissertation or thesis explaining the appearance, design and siting of this building (with particular reference to the architecture, industrialised building techniques and the use of concrete in the late 1960's/early 1970's).

Viewed, in passing, from the river, this building reminds me so much of the grim overbearing concrete of those late 60's/early 70's high density housing estates in south London, especially in Lambeth and Southwark.
