Westhall mansion, Aberdeenshire, February 2009

[zimbob]

Visited here today as part of the Scotland meet, with too many people to mention You know who you are

I'll not bother with the history here, as there's a few reports about covering that...

Much fun was had, especially when we were so rudely interrupted at the end - can't wait to see the pics from that

I'll bung a few of mine up, if everyone else wants to the same?

Old part :

Large and impressive rooms :

Some fine bathrooms

Rooftop action

The most-photographed bottle in the world

Elephant sp**k (maybe not )

Funky stairs :

And a groovy 3D diorama thingy :

Right folks, get yours up ​

 

[fire*fly]

yes, get 'em up....looks like a really great place

It was a great, if rather long, day. The clusterf**k that Zimbob predicted did indeed materialise but nothing too serious. I'll definitely go up there again.

A few of mine.

Tidy desk

Old skool phone.

Schoolboy humour, the only acceptable form of graffiti

Shonky roof

That group shot. It doesn't work so well without the faces but I've left Escortmad in because he's wearing a mask. It's all about the eyes.

Just to be annoying, an external shot I took last month.

Any drinks? Nah, just rancid jars of jam, pickles and empty bottles of house wine

There's a lot of fungus growing on the ground floor

I reckon it all went really well, had a good time in there, and the bit at the end added some excitement.

:icon_evil WHO SmAsHED the pickles??? Ali will be gutted :/

Sorry I didn't make it, I had to prepare Christmas dinner at my ma's house.
Oh, you sure it was the estate agent? Was it A black range rover by any chance?

Aye, we were shocked at the pickles End of an era that.....

Twas indeed a dark Discovery, I think they got as big a start as we did when they saw 11 folk lounging around the bar


And... Christmas dinner?? That's starting early

 

[james.s]

Wow, what was this place before it was abandoned?

 

[lost]

A private house, then a hotel.

Here's some brochure shots

I was pretty gutted too. There's another jar that's been smashed in the vault-like room of the castle ground floor.

This was a very unusual and colourful round toilet

I have plenty more but had to scale it down. Sadly, I did not capture the panic shot
