This is the view from our hotel room after a very full day.
The photo was taken through some very old glass but the late day light was rather nice.
We had seen this strange looking top to a building several times while walking through Edinburgh.
We finally googled it up and this is what we found.
Crafted from a winding steel 'ribbon', the design has been likened to spirals of paper, a reference to the many printing presses which occupied surrounding areas in times past.
The vision for the hotel includes a lofty bar, lounge and restaurant space boasting 360 degree panoramic views over the city.
The trouble is Edinburgh's ridiculed 'poop emoji' hotel is branded a 'white elephant' by furious locals as 'eyesore' remains closed to the public two years after it was due to open.
