In any other location and for any other use, this former military Torpedo Testing Facility wouldn't garner a second look. As it stands, however, it is overshadowed by possibly the most drop-dead gorgeous backdrop I've ever seen on an explore.

Situated on the banks of Loch Long in Scotland, what's left of the old Torpedo Testing Facility isn't anything special. Apart from it's cool previous use there isn't a whole lot left except half of one building and the old pier but I could shoot it against that scenery all day and be very very happy. Early in the morning, as the sun rose, all was still and quiet and it was utterly incredible. It was one of those moments that makes you realise how much you love what you do.

Thanks for looking, more here https://www.flickr.com/photos/mookie427/albums/72157689364754204 :redface:
 
Man you have covered some serious miles! Nice little spot this, we stopped and had a picnic there on the way to Polphail. You got some stunning shots there mate, really enjoyed that.
 
In your fits shot on your left just poking out the bank did you see the old firing tubes only the end with door where visible but interesting all the same that was 2007 though lots changed there since
 
What a nice looking place
I love shooting explores with a scenic back drop. (Did a good one in Canada earlier this year myself)
 
Nice final one of a great trip for you.i loved it here and would happily go back
 
Cheers all :)

Can't say I saw any firing tubes but then I wouldn't know what I was looking at anyway!
