Gillian Hayes of Dapple Photography. Took these photos of The Pipe Factory as the latest instalment for our photoblog post series. Is next to The Barras in Glasgow. This former Italian Renaissance inspired factory was designed by M Forsyth of Airdrie in 1877. Now used by a group of artists, writers and architects who run an open studio under the name of The Pipe Factory, since forming in 2011.

The flooring is all down and what a difference it makes. We are all really pleased with it and have made the right choice. The furniture has all been cleaned and has foam protectors and the kids instructed to lift furniture. Here are some before and after shots, just need to get skirtings and facings to finish it all off. We had some great walks along the Fife coast.
