1/ It's #WorldArtDecoDay so I've been asking round the @HistEnvScot Survey and Recording team for their standout buildings of the era.

Clare Sorensen's plumped for the Viking Cinema, #Largs for the glamour of the 1930s film industry in the West of Scotland...

What's your fave?

2/ I'm on the same vibes as my colleague Clare for #WorldArtDecoDay as I was thinking of the Radio Cinema, #Kilbirnie by the same architect, James Houston, lovingly converted into a community space by the time we surveyed it in 2009.

Miriam McDonald @HistEnvScot's Industrial Survey manager is thinking of the former India Tyre Factory, Inchinnan for #WorldArtDecoDay.

We recorded it in 2014 for our Record and @yalepress's Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Buildings of Scotland volume.

More! https://bit.ly/3eFp4bN 

4/ @IainAndersonHES is also fancying a trip to the cinema, this time in #Glasgow at the GFT aka Cosmo Cinema, Rose Street - with a daunder past the Beresford Hotel on Sauchiehall Street en route.

What's your Scottish choice for #WorldArtDecoDay?

5/ Jane Thomas reckons ‘James Carrick’s spectacular Rothesay Pavilion on Bute expresses perfectly why Art Deco and seaside holidays have become inextricably linked in our minds.’

More to enjoy on #WorldArtDecoDay in this exhibition that Jane curated: https://bit.ly/3gHdbVD 

6/ Simon Green has recorded many buildings under threat over the years for RCAHMS and @HistEnvScot. He's offering up Tarlair Swimming Pool #Macduff for #WorldArtDecoDay, the subject of a survey back in 2008.

7/ Simon Green and the @HistEnvScot Survey gang weren't short of ideas for #WorldArtDecoDay. As Simon puts it 'the buildings celebrate a brave new world of sunshine, fun and freedom'

His other immediate choice was these archive images of the 1938 Empire Exhibition, #Glasgow.

8/ Finally @IainAndersonHES remembers visiting the #Paisley Grammar School sports pavilion on a recce when it was in a bad way. He returned when it was fully restored to its #WorldArtDecoDay full glory.

Full kudos to our ace @HistEnvScot photographers!
