    "Scandinavian style" flats mind - which is a relief. Imagine if we had to put up with boring old Scottish style. I wonder if there is anywhere in the world that properties would ever be marketed as "Scottish style"? I wouldn't discount there being an estate of horrific baronial McMansions somewhere in Florida.

    Might it just mean nondescript flats with Ikea kitchens?

    Scandinavian-style flats come with Scandinavian-style transport infrastructure, right?

    @Frenchy, and no doubt so well insulated that you barely need any form of heating other than your daily sauna.

    Not Edinburgh

    Much-loved art deco outdoor pool facilities are expected to partly reopen this year.

    Two sections in the triple-pool lido – a boating pool and toddler pool – will open first, with the swimming facilities to follow once funding is secured.
