OK, so I was going to leech off Gorecki's thread, but I think this many pics would be taking the piss
Visited on Saturday with Alir147, Gorecki and Zimbob (thanks for the diving, Bud!)
Thanks to Alir147 and Gorecki for showing us this wonderful building. Apparently it is due for demolition. This begs the question, "WHY IS THIS BUILDING NOT LISTED?" It is not as if there is a huge abundance of colonial style wooden structures in the UK, let alone Scotland. And it is not as if it is in particularly bad condition. I am not an engineer, but I would say from my visit it appears structurally sound. Why not re-clad it in that plastic wood stuff that the yanks are so fond of and convert it into apartments?
Anyway, rant over, although I am still quite angry
Here are a small selection of my pics of the visit. Pity we did not have more time. We underestimated our days exploring GREATLY!
The Lobby
How did they know?
flooded cellar, Fire hose suggests deliberate!
Chess, Anyone?
Main Stair
The Doors
Winter Wonderland
Keeping things in perspective
Veranda
"THE WINDOW"
The other window. The tower was disappointing, but it had to be done!
Heating
On the tiles
Music? Or maybe a book?
Decay
Don't drink the milk!
Shall we dance?
A terrific days exploring, hampered only by the time-lords and Moray council roads department
