So we have reached the end of my Scotland posts (or have we?), it was an incredible trip and one I can't wait to make again.
Weary and tired after four days of exploring me and my friend had one more spot on my extensive list. We were considering packing up and heading home without dropping by but something in me told me to check it out, as it's a building that seems to have been largely forgotten about.
Milkbank House was built at the end of the 1800s, and was a large two-and-three storey country house built in the Scottish Baronial style. After the end of WWII the house was stripped and de-roofed by its owners and has been left ever since, a gorgeous overgrown ruin.
There is a separate kennels block a short walk away which looks to have been in use until more recently, as it has a roof and the insides are way more intact - there was an attached lodge kind of building but the floors in there looked desperately unsafe so veering on the side of caution I decided not to try my luck.
Thanks for looking, more here https://www.flickr.com/photos/mookie427/sets/72157687493892092
