A once-pedestrian 1980s bungalow – albeit in one of Broughty Ferry’s most spectacular locations – has been transformed with the addition of a magnificent extension. Jack McKeown is wowed by Wester Ogil
Margery Davis smiles as she reaches for the button. “Are you ready for the James Bond trick?” she says.
Electronics whirr quietly and two great panels in the ceiling slide back to reveal a glass dome above.
Wester Ogil is a house that’s full of surprises. Built in 1980, it was later dramatically extended by its previous owner Jean Elvidge – who hasn’t moved far, building a house opposite, Glenogil, which won the Dundee Civic Trust award and the Dundee Institute of Architects’ Best House award.

MOUNT DORA Two Polk County men, a former police officer and a convicted felon, are facing charges after Lake County deputies say they desecrated five graves in a cemetery, four of which contained the remains of military veterans.
Lake County detectives say the desecration occurred at the Edgewood Cemetery, a historically African-American cemetery, December 6th. Crime scene investigators collected various items left at the gravesites, including cigars, and collected DNA. This led them to Brian Tolentino, 43, of Davenport. He pointed them to Juan Lopez of Lake Wales. They say Lopez told them the men opened the graves and removed the skulls of five people in a religious ritual.
