  • After driving to a lot of locations and failing access due to them being sealed we all ended up exploring this ruin, it was nice to catch up with some friends again that i haven't seen for a while. If any of you guys love old ruins, castles etc in Scotland then check out these guys "The Twa Togs Adventures" as they document these places and get deep into the history of them

    Growing up on Long Island in the 60's and 70's, friends and I would go exploring the abandoned estates of the Gold Coast. We discovered mansions left untouched due to the taxes - silk draperies in tatters, parquet ballroom floors warped and personal possesions left behind in abundance but it still can't compare with the centuries of history you explore in Scotland. I have a realtor's map from 1924 showing the 'country' estates on the North Shore of the Guggenheims, Pratts, Vanderbilts, the whos who of the NY wealthy. That's how we found them before the bulldozers. I have fabulous memories, including evading the police, and that's why I enjoy watching your videos. Oh, to go back in time and record what we discovered in the ruins of the rich.

    The big pile of bark/chippings looks new. When we were young we would climb/bounce on any that we found, and so they would spread. So it looks like they have recently cut down their wood and milled off the rubbish ( to sell in garden centres ).
    Love the fireplace. I bags the (warm) room above for my bedroom.
    House built for comfort and attractive features for residents. Must have been very grand at one time. Still occupied for some years after I was born.

    The last mansion was amazing, it looks like the roof was removed.
    Many large mansion houses were too expensive to live in, so the roofs were removed so they didn't need to pay rates.
    I think that may have happened to that house.
    The huge fireplace is amazing, and that floor with the thistle design too.
    Brilliant exploration as always Alec.

      @@325Bertie I take it that you're not from the UK. We have to pay Council Tax, it pays for local services. The more money that the house you live in is worth, the more expensive it is.
