2. Argyle House
Given its proximity to Edinburgh Castle and the heart of the city's Old Town, it's hard to believe Argyle House, in all its concrete, steel and glass enormity, was ever built in the first place. Photo: PHIL WILKINSON
3. Appleton Tower
It's often said the best views in the Capital are to be had from the University of Edinburgh's Appleton Tower. Why? Because you can't see the Appleton Tower. Photo: Cate Gillon
4. Abbey Lane flats
This apartment block on Abbey Lane was designed to reflect the shape of nearby Salisbury Crags, but the effect is lost on many Edinburgh locals who consider the cyan-coloured building an eyesore. Photo: Google
