Westhall Castle Hotel, Aberdeenshire - Spring 2010

[lost]

Visited with ZombieSazza and TheSurveyor off that other forum, Alir147, and the stranded Skin and his friend Ben who were stuck in Aberdeen thanks to the ash cloud of doom.

Westhall is in a bad way now, but you wouldn't know it from browsing the Savills website

I "bokehd" that plastic flower good and proper

There's a lot of fungus and mould in Westhall. Here's a highlight.

A bad man came and smashed the windows, here he is in the act

In the once elusive safe, I found a 1980s "Best of Mayfair" collection. THe images aren't suitable for a family forum though, so here's an old radio instead.

The owners were German. It shows.

Nice one Lost, shame that Westhall continues to go downhill. I can see it ending up beyond repair. Good shots on the new SLR

It's under offer on Savills, so hopefully it will be sold soon

 

[mr_bones]

It's been for sale for a while though.

Shame, three years later and no further on with restoring it. Nice detail shots though, Lost.

I'm finding a few of them a bit flat/washed out, I think I need to tinker with the settings a bit more. Or just HDR them to buggery.

Love those radios lots...presume the mag is safely tucked away now?
What cam did you get?

The radios are great, shame they were pretty much crumbling away. All the hair in the Mayfair was a bit much for me, so I put it back on the shelf.
I bought a fairly ancient Pentax DSLR, for cheapness and its acceptance of cheap old lenses.

Ha ha, ah the good old days

Good to see some different shots from here, nice and crisp stuff

ROFL! Classic.
