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!

Great find SP + bro, that fire place is great, lovely view from there as well

and the winch...for a fishing boat, perhaps?

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!

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,

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.

ooooooooooh cheers, will look forward to that. It's definitely too cold to be out somewhere as remote as this.

Cheers,

This crest with an inscription 'Aut Tage Aut face' (either be silent or act) was inside.
