Usan Ruin, March 2008

It was a cold windy day when myself and Bro discovered this. Just a simple ruin on the east coast between Arbroath and Montrose. Not much to explore as it was in a ruinous state.

What a lovely place! That fireplace is amazing and I really like the way the wall has crumbled from all around it. Love the stonework, the bridge over the brook and the winch...for a fishing boat, perhaps? Good stuff!

I think so, they are quite common in fishing villages for hauling the boats out. Luv that place

Cheers, red. I did wonder because we have similar ones for the fishing boats down here...more modern and worked by electricity, though...don't think I'd fancy using the man-powered kind! :lol:

I really like this place, and I love the 7th pic down. What is it? It looks like it was a stone surround for something in the past and has a crest on the top. Looks a gorgeous location.

Cheers,

Sal

This was a mausoleum. It was to cold to take down details I'm afraid. There were a few other inscriptions and graves, kinda isolated and strange. Will go back in the summer for further investigation.
