Iconic structure marked for demolition?
Work to demolish the landmark Dounreay Fast Reactor dome could start in seven years’ time.
The structure, also known as the sphere and the golf ball, has been a feature of the north Caithness coast for almost 60 years.

There were previous plans to retain the dome.
Historic Scotland had considered listing the building so that it would be preserved.
