does anyone know what the big silver trumpet thing is at the side of the m8 near livingstone? at first i thought it was some kind of art work but i’ve decided it’s possibly for monitoring sound

2

Its the thing from teletubbies.

Think it is art and it does or did make some kind of noise.

Vaguely remember it in the papers going up and most people I assume are of the same opinion as me, wtf.

3

Some might call it art but personally I think it, and all the rest of the crap sorry art along the M8 are a total waste of tax payers cash. :imp: :imp:

4

money well spent, it’s kept me occupyed for months

I am wondering about that from my arrival to Scotland. I am not asking any more, becouse there is more answers that people answering :wink:

  • it’s art
  • it’s part of some bigger project of hi-tech system of noise reduction but never completed
  • it’s a ventilation to some underground warehouses
  • it’s a speaker to amuse people stuck in traffic jam
  • it’s a air-scooper for underground secret military tunnel
  • …

Maybe its the vent for an underground truck stop with no toilets. :slight_smile:

Did the exact same today for the first time because of this and noticed concrete steps at the bottom of it like it actually expects visitors.

Never seen any dogging though which was disappointing.
