I know this has been done to death over the years and is a tourist hot spot, but I have some very fond memories here. My first visit was back in 2006, just as I was starting to get hooked on the buzz from recreational trespass, but this visit quickly evolved in to a plan to put on a free party...

A couple of weeks ago, I went up to Scotland to visit my Brother. He lives in Falkirk, about 23 miles from Edinburgh. Before I went, I looked for any abandoned places I could visit and came across St. Peter's Seminary in Cardross. Luckily it was about an hour's car ride from Falkirk so we...
