A wee mishap in Forfar reported here. Gloves and decent trousers needed in hindsight methinks... :mrgreen:

Derelict building warning after youth injured

Tayside Police have urged young people to stay away from various disused sites, including St James House in Forfar after a youth was injured there.

He suffered a serious leg and hand injury after falling on glass in the grounds of the building.

Despite attempts by the owners to secure the site, young people are still accessing the premises.

St James House has lain vacant since Angus Council relocated its headquarters to Orchardbank in 2007.
 
What the BBC didn't tell you is that there was a great big jute mill attached to it, which has just been demolished. Fingers crossed said youth has recovered now – he could have saved himself the pain and suffering, and waited until the demo men helpfully created an access. ;)
