Caravan park, Peterculter, Scotland, Aug'08

[spacepunk]

Came across this caravan park whilst exploring with Smellycat.
A strange place as all but 2 of the caravans/chalets are deserted.
A couple of dogs barked at us and Smellycat fell through a hole of a particularily rotten floor. How I laughed.

Love'n'Peace.

What a great little place. Like those chalets, even in their present state. And that bathroom is exactly the same as the ones we had at Devon Coast in Paignton. The decor leaves a lot to be desired tho Any idea on when it actually closed? and who owned the place?

Excellent find, and good pics too.

Cheers,

Sal

After trudging thru some rather boring Aberdeen council PDF files I found that the Rob Roy caravan park opened around 1958 and has 90 mobile homes. They are trying to get permission to build houses although there is an occupied house already on the site and someone is maintaining the property, as we saw neatly trimmed hedges and mowed lawns. I think it just went into general decline. The place is a bit smelly.

It looks like the remains of chintzfest 1974!

Wow thats pretty cool, the chalets arent in a greatly run down state but totally in contrast with the neat surroundings!

Nice find, did you just stumble across it? I love how its deserted, if it had a couple of manequins it'd be like one of those nuclear test towns that the americans have.

Gorecki did this a while ago.
Sure there is a report somewhere
