If I had a ton of money I would go to Scotland, buy a historical home, rebuild in and live out my remain days. My Nanny was born in Oban Scotland and my Mum was born in London. I felt a connection when I visited Scotland. I loved it there.
And in the kitchen, a glass full of water and flowers that haven’t had time to wilt ....somebody is living in this house.Freshly chopped wood, a flat TV screen,
@Joanna Krason ✌me too. In Malaysia its built during the British Colonialism and pre war. Most bldgs still remain i.e.. Hill Top British Residences, amazing Vatican Churches, Missionary/Convent schools built in the 1800 circa!! Greeting from Malaysia✌
I would say someone definitely lives there, organised piles of things, fresh flowers on the table, think your lucky they didn’t come back while you were there!
Yes it was pretty obvious that it is or has been recently worked on or lived in. Basically trespass so lucky nobody came back. You should have left as soon as this was obvious IMO.
I agree. The money ran out, (the money always runs out) then they started selling valuables to hang onto this place. They may have to abandon it, but they haven't yet. They are somewhere, desperately hoping to find the money to pay back taxes or whatever, it's not abandoned yet--get out.
Looks like owners are trying to move in.... the roof and upper rooms are a mess, but it looks like someone is trying to make headway with this lovely place. Let’s hope so! Absolutely beautiful.
I love this house! Wish someone could tell us more about its history. I sure hope someone will restore it. The location is lovely and as soon as I saw the exterior of the home, I was drawn to it. I especially like the stairwells, the tower, all the windows even in storage areas, and the blue library.
The Linn, Cove, Argyll Scotland. The gardens form The Linn Botanic gardens, now being restored after the deaths of Dr Jim Taggart and his late son Jamie (who sadly died on a botanising trip to Viet Nam). Dr Jim lived for his gardens, but sadly lived rather poorly in the house. Hugh Grant, actor, had a family connection with the house. House and gardens sold for peanuts. New owner renovating and has just opened gardens, was on Gardener's World last week.
I felt like I could be very at home in that house. I don''t know why. It doesn't look particularly comfortable at present, in need of repairs & refurbishment & comfy beds & a thorough clean. (Despite some beautiful antique furniture.) However I could imagine walking into that first sittingroom & sitting & looking out of the window for a long time, watching the weather & the light fade. I could imagine being invited to stay there & curling up on a sofa in front of a log fire & sharing poetry & talking of the world until the wee hours of the morning.
@@TheWatanna Ah but can you talk about poetry & life till the wee hours? I think we might need to get a few repairs done & mould cleared away first though, before we can install ourselves on one of those sofas in front of a cheerful log fire, with two big mugs of hot chocolate & some crumpets. (Make my cocoa with Almond milk it is the most yummy.) See you there. P.s. I am usually very quiet but like conversations that go to the bones of things at times.
Looks like you have broken into someones house, the fireplace had recently been dusted and the other front room was to clean with organised paper work. Probably a second home left in a will but not abandonded youcan see they are airing the sofa so its not damp whenthey return
Beautiful home. Great stonework on outside & beautiful gardens. Has some amazing antique furniture in the bedrooms. Massive square footage with lots of huge windows. Can't believe the complete dinnerware sets are still assembled on the cabinet. Some areas of the home look in better shape than others. Nice to see no graffiti or vandalism! This would be a great home to bring back to life & be a loving home for people & pet. Great find! 💕💕💕
The son of the owner died in November 2013 while plant hunting in the mountains of northern Vietnam, after seemingly having slipped and fallen down a steep embankment. The owner died in 2019. One of the sons or daughters regularly visits the property to take care of it, but it's not abandoned.
I'm pretty sure this is the botanical garden where the guy lost an adult son years ago. He probably died or went to a home and the family will be dealing with the house belongings. If only we could have seen more of the gardens
Hey Alex, this villa is nice, I lost count on the bedrooms. It might have been abandoned for a while, by the look of the items left, and the condition of some of the upstairs rooms. But downstairs, looks like someone had moved in, and starting cleaning. Be careful you and your crew don't get caught by the arrival of the new owners.
Abandoned??? Really?? Why is there a vase of flowers on the kitchen table? I think Elizabeth is correct...this looks more like breaking and entering to me Alec. hmmm?
That garden is still just fantastic. With a little clean-up, it would be glorious. It was clearly well-designed with hardy plants that have really stood the test of time. I want to have at with my clippers and shovel.
If this is the house I think it is then the gardens are an actual botanical garden. The owner was a botanist and so was one of his sons. There's a tragic story behind it all
I have visited the gardens here several years ago and quite dismayed to see the house looks a lot worse now on the outside, gardens are still listed for visiting....strange. Great to see view from tower.
When I viewed the house in 91 the house was in far better condition,had been empty a long time,,,someone must of bought then abandoned again,,,my sibling still lives across the road but house totally hidden from road and pathway down to shore,,,
How Bizarre the downstairs has the beautiful dresser that looks like it had never been touched but upstairs looks like it has been ransacked.... Great find guys
Такой уютный хозяйский дом! Видно с первого взгляда, что всё здесь подобрано с любовью. Хочется увидеть при входе в дом гостеприимных хозяев. Но, их нет... Запустение... Тоска... Очень жаль...
Wow what a beautiful house that could be it’s huge ! Makes you wonder why it hasn’t been sold ! Lots of interesting pieces of vintage furniture & strangely fresh flowers on the kitchen table with water still in them ? Thanks for sharing yet another fantastic find !
Beautiful building such a shame it's no ones home. Another great explore if I wasn't a pensioner I would love to do something like this but seeing me trying to climb in a window would be a joke in itself. Thank you
I don’t think this place is completely abandoned ... flowers on the kitchen table in water haven’t been there that long, and kitchen sink and benches clean and dust free... ?
This is just down the road from me family we’re botanist son was a firefighter who sadly went missing in Vietnam and that farther passed away few years ago it’s full of rare plants etc from around the world it is currently being restored its was a tourist attraction the gardens in the grounds am sure there’s like a Japanese style garden section to the grounds
H Alec, nice find mate what a house that was rooms all over the place and some decent furniture some rooms looked ok but others were trashed I couldn’t work this house out, looked like they either moved out real quick or maybe an elderly person passed away and maybe the family took the decent stuff and left what they didn’t want, exellent explore though Alec mate Thx bruv.
Probably because of the money required to upkeep them, the weather is quite wet in Scotland. Death duties don't help and a lot of these big houses are in remote places. A lot of the roads are better now but even 30 years ago it could take forever to get anywhere on narrow winding roads, not that many railway stations, staff may be hard to find unless live-in, Edinburgh and Glasgow are fine but not many large cities and towns especially in the highlands so lack of the shops you'd want or need.
Beautiful bannisters and barley twist spindles,I just love all the crockery,mixing bowls,furniture and the Indian tree china on the dresser was to die for.
Когда то здесь кипела жизнь, проживало большое семейство, рождались дети.Семья, по видимому, была успешной.Почему все так забросили, неужели нет наследия?Так жалко, что дом заброшен и пустует.И что в нем такое творится.Хочется засучив рукава, навести чистоту и порядок.
If this is abandoned, what a waste of what was and could be again, beautiful house. Surprised you did not pay more attention to the trap door in floor at side of fireplace of the first room you entered?!
alec, that is really weird to see an Italian style house in Scotland. Really great find. I've heard it said that people that are rich are really fickle, they leave houses abandoned all over the place. I'm just wondering what that really big window or skylight was taken from that was round?...Looks like it used to be a beautiful home at one time. thank you for taking us w/you!
Hi Alec, once again you've transported me!!! How I'd love to be there. I don't know if you're familiar with the show " Outlander " in the 1st episode it shows a couple walking through an old castle in Scotland imagining what it must have been like 100+ years ago.... later the woman is transported back to that time and to that castle and what it was like with people and life..... that's what happens to me everytime you take me through these homes, villas, castles, thank you so much!!!
Hola !! Qué bella mansión, en su época, a deber sido majestuosa, sus acabados de madera, los muebles tantos recuerdos que se quedaron ahí... Saludos desde México.
@Charolette Boso I prefer the silence, not being distracted by chatter, you take more in..what a beautiful home, love it, I could do wonders with it! Great video Alec, thanks
The house and grounds are beautiful, I do hope it's in the process of being restored. Most of the contents looks like horrendous junk - those dolls were very creepy. I find it mind-boggling that people just move out and leave so much behind - lazy sods hadn't even emptied the hot water bottles! I'd love to have the multi-millions to buy and restore this house but it would be thoroughly modern when I'd finished.
@18:10 a woman say something like "Ama" and its very clear. At one time that house was very, very grand. What a shame that it is going to ruin. Well, yet again the spirits reside there. Thank you so much for posting.
Uau.... fiquei imaginando essa casa em seu auge, quando era habitada... Qual seria a história dessa mansão? Será que os donos eram artistas...escritor....🤔
Looks like the original residents were educated (many books) and a family... what happened to them seems really odd. I think maybe there have been squatters since. Definitely a CND supporter has been there.
This house must be near Faslane overlooking The Gare Loch. It was probably built by a Glasgow merchant as a summer retreat. It looks cold and miserable, impossible to heat.
There's no accent as sexy as a Scottish one! My family and I live in the US, but are from the Forbes Clan. I hope someone fixes up that old place, looks like it could be salvageable, breaks my heart to see these places like these but very interesting. Keep up the wonderful work guys!
What a beautiful view from the upstairs window!! 19:16. A really beautiful villa. What I’d give to own one of these historical houses/Manors and upgrade it with old style taps, bathtubs and toilets, etc. Show it off right. 😊
Really liked this place. From the dishes to the size of it to the view from the top. I would buy this house and restore it. Or is someone doing that already? Cheers to you.
Someone does live there, they are in the process of doing the house up. So the people that have done this video have broken into someones private property.
@@emmataylor6028 It's also within the grounds of a maintained botanical garden. I was there a few years ago and didn't think for a second that it was actually abandoned.
I wonder after all the places you’ve visited and posted publically, have you ever had anyone comment and say “hey! That’s my house! I used to live there?”
Why the family left such palatial house after staying a few years ? The location, design, and ultimate time of construction taken must be some more years than the total years of occupancy.
One thing that is very noticeable on these abandoned property videos is the lack of dust on most horizontal surfaces. Can anyone explain this phenomenon - ?
@19:45 Beautiful! And that staircase & windows 😍. The entire house is Great- so many bathrooms, fireplaces. The garden - courtyard is still good. Just needs a little manicure.
Acho que não estava abandonada... Vi uma Hortência no vidro com água sobre a mesa (6:37) ...😟 Pode ser que não use a casa inteira, mas alguém mora aí... E com alma feminina...❤️ Fica ruim pensar que "encontraram um jeito de entrar" visto que não havia uma porta destrancada...😟
That house clearly was once a great looking house it would be smashing to see it restored to how it once was it would make a smashing family home. P.s loved the video and i shell be watching more of your video's keep up the good work
What a wonderful house! Outside and inside, had so many really nice architectural details. Beautiful fireplaces, doors, windows, rooms. So many books everywhere, too. The folks that had lived there were undoubtably educated and had a bit of money, judging from all the beautiful things that were left behind. I imagine some things may have been removed earlier by family (I hope). Would be so nice to see this home renovated and lived in again. Very beautiful. Thank you for taking us along on this tour. Appreciated. I don't usually, but am tempted to watch this vid again.
Alec cheers for this just realised a know this house wasn’t sure at first but a sign gave it right away! Always wondered what it looked like inside! Cheers ma man
Are any of these up for sale or is there a place to find this answer so I can research for myself? These are too beautiful to go to such waste. Maybe they were inherited by someone that doesn’t want it…? Or it is just unclaimed?
Would of liked views of outside from a few window, focus on some of the furniture wood dressers, tables etc..Love older wood, vintage, antiques, lamps/chandeliers over stairs, leaded windows, stained glasswindows
ALEC...WHY DID THE WONDERFUL ADVENTURE HAVE TO END? MAY WE PLEASE RETURN? I DREAM TO SEE SCOTLAND. SO BEAUTIFUL THRU THE WINDOWS. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS FROM VA USA.🙏👍😘🇺🇸

In Malaysia its built during the British Colonialism and pre war. Most bldgs still remain i.e.. Hill Top British Residences, amazing Vatican Churches, Missionary/Convent schools built in the 1800 circa!!

I would say someone definitely lives there, organised piles of things, fresh flowers on the table, think your lucky they didn’t come back while you were there!
I seen a computer with LCD or led monitor. That is deffinitelly something new.
Yes it was pretty obvious that it is or has been recently worked on or lived in. Basically trespass so lucky nobody came back. You should have left as soon as this was obvious IMO.
It’s almost like you head off to town to do a bit of shopping while someone snoops around your home not abandoned just no one is home
I agree. The money ran out, (the money always runs out) then they started selling valuables to hang onto this place. They may have to abandon it, but they haven't yet. They are somewhere, desperately hoping to find the money to pay back taxes or whatever, it's not abandoned yet--get out.

VCR had electricity to as clock was working someone lives there
Someone is still living there, the jar of flowers on the table still has water in it
Looks like owners are trying to move in.... the roof and upper rooms are a mess, but it looks like someone is trying to make headway with this lovely place. Let’s hope so! Absolutely beautiful.
This house is not abandoned! DID YOU NOT SEE THE FRESH FLOWERS ON THE TABLE! AND WELL-KEPT GROUNDS?

What a wonderful house.Hopefully the vandals will not find out where the house is located..Dishes and furnishings lovely.
I thought that the dishes and decorative plates etc. Were just beautiful.
Its because the house is now lived in and owned by someone.
Emma Taylor Nawwwwww
Flash cleaner on the kitchen table and a Sony music 🎶 player. Cups and plates on draining board not that abandoned 🤨

That isn't abandoned, there r fresh flowers out is vase of water on kitchen table.
and bread...
The gardens must have been quite lovely at one time.
This house isn't abandoned!
Perfect for a mystery movie setting!
Love watching videos of these old houses & this 1 is big & I bet it was beautiful in it's glory days & still could be again .

Your pretty much bang on the money there mate lol
Love those bannisters & the window with birds. They are special.
This is a lovely home structure and property! How sad that it was just left that way!
For a abandoned villa it must still have the glass window cleaner servant still stopping by to clean the windows. 👍🇺🇸
Well that’s a 2017 screwfix catalogue
I would be up in that tower room with an easel and some paints.
Beautiful light and view from there.
Thanks for sharing this video. Place on the outskirts is okay. God bless 😇 you both and, good luck to your next adventure.
Thanks so much
Why are all these places abandoned? I’m from the United States and I don’t understand why these beautiful places are scrapped!
Probably because of the money required to upkeep them, the weather is quite wet in Scotland. Death duties don't help and a lot of these big houses are in remote places. A lot of the roads are better now but even 30 years ago it could take forever to get anywhere on narrow winding roads, not that many railway stations, staff may be hard to find unless live-in, Edinburgh and Glasgow are fine but not many large cities and towns especially in the highlands so lack of the shops you'd want or need.

Acho que não estava abandonada... Vi uma Hortência no vidro com água sobre a mesa (6:37) ...😟
Pode ser que não use a casa inteira, mas alguém mora aí... E com alma feminina...❤️
Fica ruim pensar que "encontraram um jeito de entrar" visto que não havia uma porta destrancada...😟
obviously due to the fact there's a flat screen TV Henry Hoover and other modern bits is not been abandoned very long great video folks
Thanks for watching
6:37 how is this possible that flower on the table is still green an have a water in the vase?
i think someone is starting sorting this one out, a few things look new in this house.
That house clearly was once a great looking house it would be smashing to see it restored to how it once was it would make a smashing family home. P.s loved the video and i shell be watching more of your video's keep up the good work
Thanks
What a great video can't wait for more
Thanks
What a wonderful house! Outside and inside, had so many really nice architectural details. Beautiful fireplaces, doors, windows, rooms. So many books everywhere, too. The folks that had lived there were undoubtably educated and had a bit of money, judging from all the beautiful things that were left behind. I imagine some things may have been removed earlier by family (I hope). Would be so nice to see this home renovated and lived in again. Very beautiful. Thank you for taking us along on this tour. Appreciated. I don't usually, but am tempted to watch this vid again.
Your welcome Thanks so much
you notice the trap door in the floor with chair over it around 3 mins into it
Coming back to life now.
Alec cheers for this just realised a know this house wasn’t sure at first but a sign gave it right away! Always wondered what it looked like inside! Cheers ma man
Are any of these up for sale or is there a place to find this answer so I can research for myself? These are too beautiful to go to such waste. Maybe they were inherited by someone that doesn’t want it…? Or it is just unclaimed?
What a huge house, and once so beautiful. Hard to believe someone could just abandon it like that. I'd love to know why.
Thanks for watching but no too much info ta
Would of liked views of outside from a few window, focus on some of the furniture wood dressers, tables etc..Love older wood, vintage, antiques, lamps/chandeliers over stairs, leaded windows, stained glasswindows
One of my favourites. Keep up the good work. 🏴😀
Thank you
There is a silent message for us, we spend all our lives collection of these things even fragile crockery has life more than us.
That is beautiful, I wish I had the money to buy that and fix it up nice.
Great juxtaposition of the gun with the religious painting!
