The Elms Orphanage, Arbroath

Went here at the end of our mini road trip yesterday with Dazzababes and Commander. Was a great building although the bits we were able to explore were limited as you'll see in a minute.

It was built some time in the 1850's as someone's mansion house before eventually becoming a hotel and then finally an orphanage before closing 17 years a go. There doesn't seem to be too much in the way of vandalism, just wads of dry rot everywhere!

Looking down towards the front door in 2001...

and now....
