When you look at this photo, you won’t see sad. But for me, this is so completely sad that I have a difficult time looking at this photo. I won’t give you the complete details here but I believe there is an article being published in the next week or two that I will link to that will tell the whole story.

Here’s the nut and bolts of what happened: in 2004, my business partner and I purchased the red sandstone building on the right. (Here’s a link to the original story) While we knew we had bought one of Scotland’s most iconic buildings, we weren’t developers. We brought the building to a developer and as the years have passed, it has become apparent that the developer knows nothing about real estate also. What started as a great opportunity, one that I dreamed of long before we purchased the building, has turned into a sad tale of mismanagement, ego and greed. Very sad, indeed.
