- Deep in the highlands of Scotland we explored this abandoned time capsule with everything left behind and has been abandoned for around 8 years, this explore was one of my best in Scotland to date hope you guys enjoy the footage
Its 8 years since the old boy died. This is a commercial estate. My guess is that they are holding on to this house as it is the main house on the estate, and was the centre of their operations. But they are currently 'absent', and the house is 'mothballed'. The open window may have been deliberate left open to let some air in, and the others downstairs boarded or shuttered.
Hi, just curious what you mean by commercial estate?
@@magesalmanac6424 This is the estate house of a substantial estate which has been owned by the family for several generations. Traditionally much of the lower land had been tenanted by crofters and the moorland used for sheep and deer. At one time the tenants were expected to do some work on the estate. A threat of mass eviction resulted in civil unrest. Nowadays some crofts are holiday homes. These estates do not generate a lot of income, but they are held as a capital investment. I am deliberately being vague.
The house itself has been extended in the past. It is too big for family use, too remote, and the extensions do not lend themselves for other uses.
@@peterraikman Thanks for the informative response, I learned a lot!
Sorry guys but this felt more like a home invasion rather than an exploration of a dilapidated old ruin..clearly something sudden and tragic happened here and it was
left in a state of hiatus maybe till legal matters were sorted out...i hope you secured
the building before you left and resisted the temptation for souvenirs!!
Definitely looks that way mate,the grounds were very tidy and grass was short.....inside apart from obvious damage from roof leaks there was hardly any dust on the furniture and beds neatly made and carpets looked clean...
i would say it was shut up with the intent to return maybe??
Why did I get the feeling on the way into the property you acted like you were sneaking in? And
Why all the whispering when inside the house?? If it was empty like you acted why would you do that? This one felt wrong.
The stairlift is a sure sign that this was the home of older people with mobility problems . It still has the lived in look too. You half expect someone to arrive with their shopping or something. What breathtaking views. I could easily live in a location like this. If only! One thing is for sure, this should be saved and be a happy home again. I would be living the dream if I was fortunate enough to have a house like that.
If I had the money I would buy it in a heartbeat including the contents, really interesting. 🥰
I was so surprised by the size of this house inside! A weird mixture of furnishings, possibly back to the 40's. An antique shop would make a fortune! I enjoyed this one Alec, thank you 😊
The object you asked about at 23 minutes is for trimming the wicks on candles and oil lamps. As the wick burns down it can get black, make soot and lose brightness. A quick trim and the flame is clean and bright. Thanks for taking us along.
What a lovely house. It's my dream to get away from London and buy such a house with all its contents. Thanks Alec for another fascinating exploration
The object you didn’t know what it was may have been used for cigars. Cut the one end off and poke a hole in the other. The home is beautiful and so many belongings just left! So sad! The view from the home is stunning! Thank you!
Love this house, so many memories left behind and what a stunning location, thanks Alec❤️
Hi guys, I'm from Australia, I've just found your channel, I usually watch Adam Mark's because he's so respectful to the people that lived in these beautiful homes but I have a thing for the Scottish accent could listen to you for hours so thank you, here in Australia we're not old enough to have these beautiful homes.Thanks from Australia
I woyld love to live here in this house, if i had the funds to do the repairs. Love the location of it, the lake in the background. Beautiful ans surprisingly still in good shape. That sofa looked comfortable enough to take a nap on. 😴 really lovely place
Absolutely beautiful old property!!! Gorgeous property, on the water! Love the gate! Big house! Lots of bedrooms! Sad that the children don’t come back for the pictures & air looms 😞 Very nice things! I think vandals have destroyed some of the house😞 Gorgeous wooden furniture! The next time, please take more light, as some scenes were too dark to see! Also, please introduce your friends & talk during the filming as we don’t know what we are looking at! Just some suggestions to improve your videos, no cruel intent👍 Thank you Alec for sharing this wonderful adventure with us! I loved it ❤️
Imagine living out the autumn of your years, sitting on your specially converted downstairs lavvy reading Catch 22 when a bunch of Scottish people come climbing through your window...
What an absolute treasure!!!!! Looks like a multi generational home. So sad to see no people there.
What a beautiful house. Hope it never gets rotten or damaged. The fact it looksv 10 times bigger inside. Like Dr Who's tardis.
What a lovely location. This house is too good to be left like that. Too many properties are sitting like this due to different , sometimes sad circumstances. What an absolute time warp gold mine with tons of great finds. I hope the looters don’t discover this one. Great video
Do you see the energy bulb in the stand lamp should give some idea when it was last visited
Beautiful house, stunning location, Alec. I guess that this house has remained in reasonable condition with its contents protected due to the remoteness of the place. No doubt this was owned by a wealthy person in the past, fascinating, thank you.
Some of the stuff in that house doesn’t look very old. The things in the bathroom, like the electric shower, the washing machine etc look fairly new. So does the white radiator on the wall. It’s like a mix of new and hoarded things
What an amazing property. Looks like the type of summer houses that the landed gentry had back in the day to persue their hunting and fishing. Bet it was a nightmare to heat and the keep the house warm.
Wow, just wow !!
What a fantastic house, this one really got me and made me cry 😢 😭
So many memories, a lifetime, possibly well over a hundred years of family memories are in this beautiful house. You could imagine The Waltons living here, so many rooms ......goodnight John boy .....goodnight Mary Ellen ....
I would absolutely love to live in that house, what a stunning location.
If the roof hadn't came in, you'd think he had just nipped out to the shops and would be home soon. I'm still crying, made me so emotional this one, all those memories just left there to rot away, so sad. Thanks guys, I love how you respect everything and leave it as you found it.
So glad I found this channel, this is my favourite house so far 😊😊
You guys should give more info on what abandoned place it is. More of a description as your going through would be nice.
Sad to see another lovely home going to shite Guess it was an old folk that didnt leave it to family or they to well off to care Could see meself sitting by the water with me tennents in the sun Great video you lot Thankyou Alec
I love your videos Alec, the way you Film around and show us around fantastic places like this without the need to rummage through draws and cupboards, personal belongings. I respect you for that and your respect for the people that actually owned and own the propertys you explore.
Brilliant as always mate 👍🏻 👌🏻.
Thanks its appreciated
The video and end pictures where darn good, however the lack of an intro and ending statements plus the lack of audio during left me bored. You would do well to watch other urban explorers and give the same type of discriptions and excitement.
Why be like everyone else ? 47.5 k subscribers would disagree with you on this , you could'nt have been that bored if you watched the whole thing !
The song played on the music box was very beautiful. It made a great background for that particular room.
Sure did
If you wound it up, you might burst out in song in a foreign language.
Just like the Tardis, bigger on the inside than what it looks from outside.Stunning panoramas.Beautiful photos at the end as always Alec ,the way you've captured the natural light is sublime.
aye no bother!
breaking in to someone's house.. and calling it exploring.
2016/17 isn't abandoned they obviously died or are In a home..
it's one thing to go into old buildings but this is breaking in and showing people's property.
Yeah try this in New Zealand and we kick your arse...
@@Tiki63 New Zealand there an idea I've never been there
6:29 Thats a level of stealth Tom Clancy would be proud of 👏
The strange scissor handles gaget you found by the fire place is a lamp wick trimmer.
Liked that grandfather clock, some interesting features in that house too,liked to have had a better look at the book titles, as they can often tell you something about the former occupants of the house.
Is not easy that work all you done on those videos appreciate I really love your videos God bless everyone
Hi Alec this place is a gold mine..So much to look at.
I noticed the fan on the table when you first walk in that’s Ivory not plastic 😀
Hi Alec, great explore, wow what a location. The wee tray with the scissors, you wondered about is a candle snuffer. My granny used one. Thanks and take care x
Thanks, what an interesting snuffer. So mid evil looking.
Candle snuffer and wick trimmer
It never ceases to amaze me, these places with all the contents left behind, surely they must have relatives somewhere, the house and its furnishings must belong to someone, so sad.
Loved the Metronome Robert. absolutely pissed my frillies
That was a beautiful house in a beautiful location! If I had the money I would buy it & restore it, but I don't, but I can dream. Thank you Alec! You outdid yourself this time!
Thanks Pat you and me both!
@@ExploringwithAlec your welcome!
Beautiful old home. Looks like it was well taken care off. The stove was in excellent condition. Good find. We loved it. More please.😁
Hi Alec, who would leave behind toilet paper? Maybe the Aliens come down and took these people, lol.
Geez I said I would laugh tonight is serious 🧐 but then reading this welp I gave up had to break down and give a gigantic rumble 🤣
What a beautiful home and in a beautiful setting .the scenery alone is just breathing taking .so many beautiful moments and happy times in this home I would believe .so sad it would be interesting yo find out what would happen to this home .amazing features .absolutely live this home .this could make somebody very proud just so sad all the belongings left that once made this little Palace
So sad that there's no family for this house. Seems like a great location for a b&b that caters to walkers. There's probably a distillery not too far away. Such a shame not to have someone living there and sharing the history with visitors. Definitely would be a challenge to live there without the property being able to make some money for maintenance and taxes, but a little Scottish entrepreneurship could sort that out.
"There's probably a distillery not too far away" - There is, but from their array of bottles, they weren't customers there.
@@peterraikman Yeah. I was thinking in terms of the location being attractive to tourists. If there's a distillery or two nearby and a village with a restaurant and pub, maybe a ruined castle then with the beach it would be a great mini break spot.
phenomenal, thanks for that. Larger inside than out!
Such a beautiful setting for a home. So many pretty houses going to waste and its pitiful. Love the video, of course 😘
Hello Alec, how do you find these places?
He looks at holiday homes and waits til The owners aren’t there
@@lostinspace4716 yeah ok ha ha ha 😂😂
What a great explore. One could never go short of reading matter in this house for sure. I would love to wake up to such a spectacular view everyday, although in winter in can't be that great only different. Cheers!
Nice location for a home... great views all around... I like the still photos at the end of your videos...
Another sweet explore Alec. Hope you and your mates are doing well. This is a great house. So big and so much to see. Love the views of the sea. You stay safe now and thanks for sharing.
Thanks x
This is how it's DONE!
ALEC Saw, Climb it and Conquered it. Glad to see, you are back. Miss the heck out of you. Hope all is well with you and loved ones... Now for the video.
haha thanks xx
Awesome find. I really really enjoyed this place!! I jumped when you jumped at the piano. 😂😂Ya had me going. I absolutely love when the house has all sorts of nooks and crannies with different levels where they have 2-3 stairs going up into a room or 2-3 stairs going down to a room.
Those 2 beds up in the attic rooms look like monk’s beds. There wasn’t much dust in the place. Thanks Alec I really enjoyed looking at this house with you!!👏🏻👏🏻💗💗
And you’re right Alec, that property is so beautiful by the lake(?). I’d love to have a place like that by the lake. Beautiful!!😊
Another stunning location, Scotland is so beautiful 😍 it sad to see what was clearly a once loved family hime in such a state of decay. Thank you for a great explore guys.
What an amazing house. I share your surprise at how big it was inside, with so many rooms. It really doesn't look that way from the outside.
Cracking explore & find Alec 👌.. looking forward to the next 👍
Cheers buddy
Hi Alec, wow what a lovely big house. l could live in their.many bed rooms. like how the sun shone on the house, along with the blue sky.you had nice weather when you visit. thanks for another enjoyable video.
Keep up the good work on here mate keep up the good work on here mate keep up the good work on here mate form Greg bouchard
The picture in that dark hallway or room is exactly the same one we have in our church it is the induction of a new elder in a Presbyterian congregstion
The scissor you wondered about is to extinguish candels
Can I just ask why you look round to make sure it’s empty to then go inside and still whisper to each other like there’s people around? Makes me giggle but FairPlay. Nice video and cool house. Keep up the good work.
Wish I had the money to buy this place and renovate it. Lovely. I love your explorations. Feels like we're walking along with you. Thanks
A beatifull houve near the beach.
Oh what Nice!
I would've been tempted to grab the Cointreau bottle 🇺🇲🏴
Beautiful home but never told no history of it or the people enjoyed seeing this home but all that did was talk and laugh never told us nothing about the furniture or anything about the house or the people beautiful house but don't enjoy the way alic conducts his showings .
So watch something else then dickhead
Wow how tragic. It conjures up all kinds of mixed emotions. Such a beautiful location but where are the inhabitants...did the owner die or just move away somewhere, it makes you wonder. You guys are very respectful and responsible in the way you explore. Good job.
Thanks
Thanks Alec, great pics!
do you have an update on this property Alec? i don't know if it's true but I heard this was the home of a very prominent Scottish worldwide import trader and this is where he came to in the 1970s till the last of the family were gone and himself the owner and inheritance of a small fortune was left to a woman could be a granddaughter went to oxford university now her 60s and spent many childhood holidays there and now lives in London and her home in the south of France has claimed to say she would never want to back to that property and wants nothing to do with it ............i would like to know the full story but best to find that out in the nearest pub
The place where that house is it’s beautiful! But because I’m such a scaredy-cat person I wouldn’t be able to live in that house.
How I wish to live in this lovely location thanks Alex you always find the best xxxxx
Absolutely amazing find!! What a beautiful home it must have been in its day
I love the house, not a fan of the walleye lens though.
Its a gopro sorry lol
Brilliant video thankyou. I wonder who looks after the grounds, looks well tended
Beautiful house thanks for. Showing it I love Scotland with a
I like the place.
Nice and homey.
Absolutely gorgeous views, and magnificent pieces of furniture, hope some family members or other person rescue this place for ruin, thanks guys for sharing 💞
Correct my self, from ruined.
what a view !!! i love the house, thanks for the video.
The first painted portrait ya'll showed reminded of Barnabas Collins...
Nice presentation of a well loved home.
Этот дом расположен в прекрасном месте. Да если бы у меня были деньги, я бы с большим удовольствием там жила...
Good stuff Al.. Just Love you and what you give to us.
I'm always excited and looking forward to end off video .shots are a real treat.🧡🌅
Had a big smile on my face when I saw stair lift chair and the thought of you getting into it ....where's mask man when you need him haha
haha thanks
Most beautiful place that should be restored. I really wish this estate would restore it and do a hotel or B & B while preserving history.
Awesome explore. Stunning photos as always.
This is another house I am interested in Alex. To remind you, I am moving to Scotland from Texas and looking for a place just like this. I would appreciate any information you can give me on this house or someone that I can get in touch with about the place. I assume that there is a house close by because you are whispering.. Great video!
Oh wow, ocean front property!
Would love to buy and fix up the place. Beautiful explore Alec
What a view. What a waste It would be great if someone had deep pockets. And made this place the way it was. Because if wimpy get it god 🙏 help us all
Crap new builds with no carter.cheers Alec and team 👍..
When you said 'Wimpy' I thought are they still going? Not a great place for a burger joint - then I realised.
I don't know but that house reminds me of the house from 28 days later lol waiting on zombie jumping out somewere
You are with to many people in this small house ... makes the scene chaotic
Yes, how much does this one cost? Besides fixing a few broken windows it is really in great shape. Even if 8 years abandoned it seen as the ghost of the maid is still keeping it clean?
So sad to see people leave the photos behind, not caring and sometimes not even knowing the relative in the photo. Spend some time writting the names and dates on the backs for the future.
Scissors is for cutting cigars
Aye you should get your selves over her to we northern Ireland see few of r old places
Beautiful house next to the lake, I would love to have small cottage next to the lake Luss..too bad they let it to rot. I would love to go back to Scotland, There is a US base in Scotland was close down I am not sure if its abandon,you might want to check it out.
Guys I don't think you need to worry about getting spiders in your long locks lol
I love yours and ur brothers laugh 😁🤣
lol
I watched your videos,, Í see there are some houses that are uninhabited , but the furniture is still there , I don't understand , Did they leave the house whithout taking anything with thêm?
Thanks Alex.
Wishing you good heath and success.
To fast with the camera makes one dizzy sorry. But very interesting.
Really brilliant video Alec noticed Dave AWE I love it when my favourite Explorer's get together good company. Plenty of booze in this video however you'll be spewing for a week if you touched that shite there was stuff growing in it lol . Superb area and house probably a laird's home just a shame we don't have a system that looks out and recovers abandoned houses in Scotland it would be a beautiful home again for anyone all5he best Alex xx
Yeha it was Dave lol, and glad i don't drink alcohol eh i might not of made it out there haha
@@ExploringwithAlec haha 😄 😆 talk about being lens less 😆 🤣 😂
@@w33lal haha
Hi Alex got to say your best fine so far what a house thanks again Alex 👍
Thanks it sure was
Witam Serdecznie i Dziękuję za eksploracje bardzo ciekawa Pożdrawiam Serdecznie ♥️♥️💐💐💐👍👍👍👍
Nie ma za co
The abandoned homes you find, do any of them go on the market for sale?
Why do these houses not go up for sale. Great watch 👍
Do you know the history of the owners of the home? Makes the video that much better. Are they alive? Did they pass? Children? Occupation?
I dont like to give out info Bev but they passed
Would love this house and all the furniture! What a brilliant view great video 🏴🏴
