Solastalgia
According to the Observer's Ethical Living writer Lucy Siegle ,philosopher Glenn Albrecht defines Solastalgia as the bereft feeling created by the change beyond recognition to a locality by the creation of a giant carpark, compulsory flooding or other change. In Fraserburgh's case by the devastation caused to the Strichen Road (officially James Ramsay) Park by the construction of a new swimming pool. Surely there are sufficient derelict and underdeveloped sites in the town for the park to have been unmolested by this development.
A beautiful website. I now know another part of the world through a pair of very empathetic eyes.
