Famous Tarlair Swimming pool 13.07
View from above tonight on Tarlair Swimming pool opened in 1931.
Tarlair Swimming Pool opened in 1931 situated at the base of a sea cliff just outside Macduff in Aberdeenshire in Scotland.
The concrete structures are modest in design, and are a fine little altered early example of an outdoor Art Deco swimming pool.
The triple tidal pool is unique in design and retains its original appearance.
The design of the pool was a clever use of pumped seawater to fill the pools, and flooding of the main pool at high tide to flush out the old water. The main pool had a diving board at the deep end and a child’s chute at the shallow end, though both are now missing. The second-largest pool was a boating pool with the two remaining pools being paddling pools.
