This interesting find has had many uses but is still known to this day as a Fever Hospital.
Opened in 1902 as a fever isolation hospital- treating illnesses such as scarlet fever, diphtheria and meningitis. The Fifeshire Typhoid epidemic in 1903 ensured that the hospital was full to capacity...
I am an amateur urban explorer and keen to discover more. The best site I have found so far is the Botanical Gardens I discovered in Kilcreggan, Scotland which I visited on 6/6/2019. I spent nearly 4 hours here exploring all the overgrown pathways and buildings but did not bump into a single...
I came across this abandoned primary school whilst traveling from Birkwood Castle to Hartwood Hospital on some country roads in a little village. Real quiet place with no one around to even ask about it. I have no clue as to what the area was called though, stupid enough to not take note for...
Hi, i'm a long time lurker but i've finally decided to make my first report, I hope I do everything correct :)

I am unsure on this but I have been told it's an abandoned MOD site. First spotted it 2 years ago but had never been in untill today. Got a early dart from work so went for a "wee wander" as they say up here!!

The second school situated further up the hill, adjacent to the original building was...
Apologies for the picture quality, but I took these nearly nine-and-a-bit years ago with what was then cutting-edge phone camera technology!
- My old high school, just before it was demolished:
Hey folks, this is my first post on here, tho I've been an UrbEx-er for a good few years ;)
Until about 9 years ago this used to be my head office ...drove past it a few weeks back, only to find it in the process of being demolished.
Well, I couldn't miss the opportunity to "find" a way in to...
Hello!
So me and Cameron enjoy exploring abandoned shit, explored a lot around the uk and drove to Berlin and explored some ww2 nazi training camps and a ww2 chemical factory which was also cool.
In May we decided to go all out and drive from Scotland (Lockerbie) to Chernobyl..calling in at...
Never got round to posting this, visit was about a year before some neds burnt the place. Had family and friends who lived just a short walk from this place, always wanted to pay a visit and glad I did before it went!
It was quite trashed compared to early reports but still held a lot of...

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...

Was on a trip upto Scotland, while stopped at a red light I noticed this abandoned club to my left so I had to see if I could explore it. Sure enough I found an entrance and was happy to take some snaps for a report! Honestly I don't know a thing about this place, but it had some cool pieces...
Have been wanting to visit this place for a while now.
And i have to say it was definitely worth it.
The building is in the middle of the hospital site which is surrounded by buildings that are still in use.
Spent a couple of hours just wandering around exploring. The dead rabbit under the...
