The explore
This was a fun one for sure. After doing a bit of research on sites in Edinburgh I set off, this being the only one I could get into. I was surprised by the fact nobody had explored it before considering it was a pretty big one and had been lying empty for a while. It was an...
Wasn't sure if this one was worthy of a report so apologies if not. I had intended to go to the nearby closed police station however that proved too difficult so I settled on this instead. It was built in 1911 and is being demolished soon.

So I've had a comment or so on previous reports of excited waffling nonsense I guess i could blame the mild autism or the fact i only write reports when I've had a few to drink and quite honestly when i view reports i scroll past all the jibber jabber straight to the photographs, I cant claim my...
