This is another place I've driven past loads of times but never got round to exploring but now the kids are at school and I'm working in the evenings I've finally got the chance.
The A75 road went through major upgrades in the early 1990's with most towns on the route by-passed and sections widened. I think these houses were abandoned at that time as the road has been widened almost right up to their front doors or perhaps they were compulsorily purchased by the authorities and left to rot.
Sadly not much left to give any indication as to the people who once lived here. although the house on the right was in better condition.
This part of the road is known locally as the Kinmount Straight and is supposed to be one of the most haunted roads in Britain hence the title.
Hope you enjoy.
