Whilst on the way to a recent trip to Scotland I decided to give this place a look.been meaning for over a year to go.but never got around to it.so it was main aim on route.i spent ages here.going through all the buildings.so glad to see this finally and it was worth it.the decay and colours are superb.i would put it on a par with west raynham.sadly the yobs are slowly getting in.with some smashed windows and graffiti appearing.the site is quite extensive with several buildings to explore.there is officers quarters.servicemen quarters.mess halls.several kitchens..I would definitely revisit this place at some point.

First building was the crew quarter building.not much to see in here and was a bit off a mess.there was two of these blocks.shaped in an "I" shape.

A little block at the back this was used for storing foods and deliveries

Washing facilities for the food storage block.health and safety and all that.

Very nice, actually did some flying from there in its University Air Squadron days. I do wonder if your image of the food storage area is not the old NAAFI shop on the base?
 
did well dude, I really liked my trip here and as you noticed the further from the first building you entered the better it becomes, most of the decay is amazing! you did a good job none the less I came across a few chairs but none outside haha!
 
Really nice to see your take on this place Mikey, beautiful stuff as always. Hope you had a good trip!
