I haven't managed to post for a while (and may have forgotten what to do, so please forgive me if it is all wrong), so I've got a few visits to catch up on, here goes with the first one...
Can't find much info on this apart from both the farm and bungalow seem to have been compulsorily purchased during the construction of the M74 from Douglas to Gretna. I had passed it so many times whilst travelling up and down the motorway that eventually I decided to try and find it. We set off for what we thought would be a nice stroll with kids and dogs.... We walked for what seemed like miles and miles in the hope that it would appear round the next corner, also taking a few wrong turns which added to the length of the walk. Both houses were in a poor state. Anyway, on with some photos:
First the bungalow:
The view towards the M74:
The farmhouse:
And the other various buildings around the farm:
Thanks for looking.
