Unknown visitor centre and car park
The image is from a collection of slides and photographs ‘rescued from the skip’ and handed to Forestry Memories. Generally very little information with or about them and for details we will have to rely on readers’ memories or geographical knowledge.
Not even sure if this is a Scottish location. Can anyone name this site?

Aye Norman, the image appears to be of the Ben Lawers Visitor Centre. On the 'CANMORE' website there are more images and some notes on the building. I have copied the Architecture Notes from the 'CANMORE' website and inserted them below.
"The Ben Lawers Visitor Centre, built in 1970, was designed by the Scottish architectural practise Moira & Moira. The building was operated by the National Trust for Scotland until it closed in 2009. RCAHMS Threatened Building Survey visited in March 2010, at which point the stripping out of the building was underway and demolition was planned to be complete by the end of the year. (IA April 2010, Architect data from DSA)."
About as appealing as the German WWII fortifications around the Channel Islands and far less durable!
