Hopefully Il have some new views here! A continuation of the other recent report.
Have visited this site many times now, after originally discovering it back in the summer of last year! More often than not have been accompanied by my exploring beeatch Gorecki who also shares my obsession with this place.
The estate itself comprises of
Castle
Workshops
3 farmhouses
kennels
swimming pool and leisure complex
walled gardens
gardeners buildings and basement
greenhouses
ruined cottage
a loch (or lake)
and over 100 acres of gardens and woodland
The oldest part of the mansion dates right back to the 14th century, which massive alterations and extensions made in the victorian times. In it's later years it operated as a hotel, before finally closing down for good about 20 years a go.
Since then, this grade A listed building has lain empty and suffered the effects of the sh*t weather we have here!
the hoose
And here's one from the 1950's (back to front though!) courtesty of good old RCAHMS
one of two halls
spiral staircase
inside the old part
service bells
the bar
the main staircase
old picture in one of the farmhouses
