An appeal against the controversial decision to grant protected status to eight multi-storey buildings in Aberdeen has been put on hold by the Scottish Government.
Earlier this year Historic Environment Scotland (HES) – the government’s heritage agency – earmarked the eight brutalist blocks for A-listed status.

Their appeal may, however, be hurt by the recent use of the latter two, in the Gallowgate, in the production of Hollywood Soviet-era film Tetris. ....
