To the left of the Aqua dome is the Floral Hall and Nurseries. The Ice Rink was built on the site of Bught House and the Nurseries are in the walled garden. The Caledonian Canal is towards the top of the photo with the Tomnahurich Swing Bridge. The mound covered with trees is the 'Tomnahurich', developed as a cemetery for the town in the C19.
