    Has anyone else noticed all the different stonework, as it has not all been built at the same time.? Some parts are much older than others! It has certainly been an upperclass house with servants quarters in the top floor, and many of the fixtures, like baths etc. are all old fashioned but made of good quality material too! It must gave been some place when it was lived in, with many servants needed to ensure that it was spick and span! A part of history, which will soon be lost. Thankyou so much for showing it to us, and well done for not falling through the floors. .....................old Tich.

    6:02 the Belfast sink is missing, maybe salvaged they're not light things to carry off. Guess same with the handbasin 16:26 although it may of fallen off wall then salvaged. The lead S' trap is still there with a kink in it wc is half way through floor. (old plumbing is facinating to me). 18:05 The wc has a secondary vent just after the outlet/brass collar (aka thimble). Cistern possible enamelled steel-hard to tell. 18:21 Great close up of plunger style bath waste lift and turn. chunky taps possible 1"threads with brass nut & liners for lead- nowadays standard ones are 3/4"BSP.

    I liked the big empty room upstairs because the fire-place has a place to put a kettle each side of the fire so in the winter you could be so cosy up there with a fire going & making cups of tea. Looking at the view out of the window observing the fog, rain & snow.

    Thank you Alec. A wonderful explore. Fabulous Scottish stone. What a great place it must have been when it was being lived in. Sad to see it deteriorating. The sewing machine would have been great when new. There was the ubiquitous country stove too. Some of those sketchy floors looked like an obstacle course. When you were calling for Leah I was thinking “Where are you, hen? Lost?!” So many rooms. The bed head was great, as was that chaise lounge. The way the leather chesterfield shone it looked very new! Thanks for taking us with you.
