Tarlair Swimming Pool, Art Deco tidal swimming complex in Macduff, Scotland.
The seaside facility contains a main swimming pool, boating pool, and paddling pools connected by curved walkways near coastal cliffs.
Built between 1930 and 1931 by architect John C Miller, the complex replaced earlier mineral springs that had attracted visitors since 1740.
From 1985 to 1994, the pool grounds transformed into a concert venue hosting performances by bands including Jethro Tull and Runrig.
The Friends of Tarlair received £1.4 million in 2021 from Scottish Government funds to restore the pavilion and repair the pools.
The facility used pumped seawater and natural tidal movements to maintain water levels in the pools, making it efficient for its time.
