This was originally built by my great great grandfather. Was passed over after losing in a card game I’ve heard. I’ve seen pictures of my ancestors when they lived in the house in its original glory
Went to Glaisnock house in 1977 for a primary school trip. We stayed a (5-day) week. Was so much fun. Kids from schools all over. We slept in the dorms. Fun evenings of games and activities and daytime outdoorsy stuff. I remember hiking and orienteering - such good memories. It’s a shame to see what’s become of it.
It’s a shame it’s been left to ruin. Many a building in Ayrshire has been left to rot or been demolished. These places will always have memories. Thanks for commenting 👍
I stayed here in 1983 when I went for an outdoor activities week with my school (primary 7, I was 10 turning 11). There were magnificent Giant Redwood trees in the grounds. I learned orienteering around the grounds (I could already read a map, my dad was military) I'm dismayed to see this in such a state. Fond memories of my time there.
Nooo I had the best time ever there..i was in the school orchestra playing bass brass and it was electric with so many pieces playing together,about 50 of us. Mr malpass ..happy times there.
I was a school boy “boarder” from 69 to 74 when it closed down as a School. It was immaculate with the gardens and grounds looked after by A Mr Walter Stewart, and us boys (about thirty or so full time boarders and seventy or so day pupils). The School had a fully functioning machine shop, and forge. wood working , forestry, agriculture, horticulture, live stock and arable land. Set in I think fifty acres, along with a traditional range of sporting and education curriculum. What It did not have was enough pupils and so the costs became exorbitant. Jack Gilmore was the head master and a daemon with the Tause as were all the school masters (the matron was Mrs Kirkwood i think). the main hall was so lovely with a huge lions head over a massive mantle with a fire on in the winter, the Parquet flooring was meticulously polished every day ,with a sweeping stair case that led up to the Headmasters apartment, the Music room, and on up to the math's /science rooms, and some of the boys dormitory's Big Doon and Wee Doon . (Nith, Luger, and Afton in the other side of the School) . I learned how to shovel coking coal for the boiler room and how to harvest neeps, tatties, pick Brussel sprouts and many many other skills, including building a boat! shooting, skiing, how to work a forge and a metal and working lathe ( and get my first set of Doc Martins) that all lead me to a pretty good skill set on how to fend for myself. to see it now is I suppose telling just how long ago was that.. (no one has mentioned the green Lady! she was alleged to live in the tower but that is just a daft story to scare the wee ones)
Awe❤ it had beautiful gardens. Musical weekend,it actually had really good energy.lots of teenagers we went up the mansion stairs and into the dorms where we stayed on bunk beds. Huge sweeping staircase. Cant believe it was lost like this.
Thanks for watching Johnny. Another mansion left to rot. Such a shame it never had the investment. There were a few hairy moments with the drone.. got too close at one point. All good tho. 👍😀
Prestwick academy 1980! Couldn't afford £25 to go on intercity 125 to Paris you got stuck wi glaisnock? "BRILLIANT!" Blow Paris we made rope bridges across river! Made own camps! Cooking on open fire competing wi St Albans n Queen Margret! Absolute 1 best times away as a kid so sad see this now n just along from Charlie's pad he renovated! Think they put few Bob in this ol girl? 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🙏🏴🙏
Omg I went here years ago with the school I remember this house well was about 35 years ago now it was open in 1990 cause I went to a school trip for a week here the building when u look at it from the front the boys dorms are on the left and girls on the right it was used for outside activities assault course etc and I remember the huge hall were we use to all take turns helping serve teas etc we had a great time
An interesting video spoiled by the daft spooky music. Another of the Big Houses that will no doubt mysteriously catch fire and end up being demolished. We are in danger of losing so much of our architectural heritage- those unique buildings that help give our towns and cities their unique skylines.
Thanks for watching and your point of view. Music on drone footage is really unavoidable as there is no sound. However, on a rewatch I do agree that some footage could have the sound altered or removed. Maybe a directors cut? 😀 Thanks for commenting. 👍
Thanks for taking time to reply and keep up the great work too! Who knows if your videos might be the only record of these treasured old buildings that might survive in. a few years!@@LOREandEXPLORE
My great aunt married one of the bannatines that came from this family, unfortunately back about 1900s one of them spent all the money I'm not going into details what he done, my great uncle was angry what he done he joined the navy to get away from it all and was very bitter the rest of his life, I could tell so much about this family but not my place
Really nice old building. Shame the owner died. Hope a new owner comes forward. Probably not a lot of the original interior left but the exterior stonework and details are lovely. Conversion to flat's but suspect if not listed, demolished and new housing estate. Be a lovely house, but if costing 6 million could buy one already done in original condition. I would restore it as love old building.
Thanks for watching James. Its a shame these amazing old buildings are sadly left to rot. The amount that's been demolished over the decades is incredible.
feel like ur being watched because u r theres a homeless guy that lives in there and weirdos go up and in there me and my mates got chased by a naked guy with a machete
So cool great music. Great job

Sounds like great memories back then. Better times too. Thanks for commenting TheSpexxyboy. 👍
omg can't remember what year I was subjected to a week at Glaisnock, but I was a prestwick academy pupil in the 80's too, place gave me the creeps.
Fantastic video thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching Paranormal Duo. Really glad u enjoyed. It’s a interesting place. 👍
used to be brilliant for picking some fun mushrooms before the grass got all overgrown 😂

There's a lot of history at Glaisnock and memories too. Thanks for sharing your time at here! 👍
It's shame to see it in this form. My two brothers went here when it was a school.

I stayed there in the 90s on a school trip. We where sure it was haunted.
It’s definitely a creepy place iggyizz. Even more so now. Thanks for watching 👍

ive seen that it was bought for £418k
Is this where schools used to go for 5days?? Primary 7??
The full place feels that way was there the day an o man felt bad presence an tech issues
Ill go find one of those plenty that go inside.
Is this up near Cumnock? Am pretty sure me n ma pal stripped the lead off that when we were wee boys 😂😂
Yes. It’s near Cumnock. Thanks for watching. 👍
Did you not fancy the inside? lol
Way too spooky.. lol
Could u drive up to it?
Unfortunately, you can't. There's a trail up to it. Parking at the roadside not too far away is an option.
Leave it alone! 🙏🏴🙏
@@TheSpexxyboy too late mate, we were tannin the windas there when a was 13 hahaha
Just imagine. These type of schools and properties are every Americans dream. One mans garbage…
A civilization in steep decline.
