Darts posted that it was definitely OFF recently. Local paper (Prees & Journal had an article with news of plans to renovate the Dingwall park). To follow-up an idea, I took a wander through the campus grounds of the University College of the Highlands ( I think is it`s title) having learned of their lochans. Situated almost in the countryside it has an impressive main building not unlike an ocean liner in shape. At first sight the water looks perfect in places but on closer inspection it is only a few inches deep, perhaps 6"or 8". Algae and weed has started to invade this feature to render a lovely piece of water unusable for model boating. Maybe the current hot weather ( 30C as I write) is responsible. Whin Park pond is also starting to grow a clumps of submerged weed, no algae so far. Picture later.
