Thainstone Agricultural Centre, Aberdeen and Northern Mart, 1990, Jenkins & Marr. Largest livestock mart in Europe, combining stock pens, auction rings, shops, offices and restaurant around a central meeting atrium with gates to lean on for the crack. For all the grandeur of its grey, metal cladding, tilted and detailed in red, reassuringly sharny still.
