The Dunmore Pineapple is a folly said to "rank as the most bizarre building in Scotland." It is situated in Dunmore Park, approximately one kilometre northwest of Airth and the same distance south of Dunmore in the Falkirk council area, Scotland.

Better half just spent last month in Mainz, Germany and sent me so many gorgeous pics of the city, river, architecture, etc.  Couldn't make it...my passport renewal came in too late!  :(

Paris next month.....
