The explore: This is a really exciting hidden gem, as there aren't a lot of reports about it. Surprisingly though, it was very easy to access and there was a lot to explore. We spent a good few hours here. We went back in a few days after our visit, and found the place in total mess, with a lot...

Hi, new here but had a love for exploring for a good few years now. Hope this first report is ok. Have tried to include everything I can think of and not too pic heavy I hope. Thanks A little about the hospital In 1922 several buildings and an area of land were used to create East Fortune...

The History: Built by the Birkmyre family, this was the largest privately owned air raid shelter in the UK and it was used by the workers at the nearby ropeworks. It measures almost 600m in length with the tunnels approximately 10 feet wide and 7 feet tall when they are not flooded with mud and...

Hey! I am relatively new to the whole Urban Exploring thing but have always been interested in derelict/ abandoned buildings, so after doing some research I came across Newmiln House and decided I wanted to go explore with friends. So we drove to Perth and found a near by village to park in...

The explore This was a fun one for sure. After doing a bit of research on sites in Edinburgh I set off, this being the only one I could get into. I was surprised by the fact nobody had explored it before considering it was a pretty big one and had been lying empty for a while. It was an...

Quick explore while working in the area. This site is well documented, here is an extract from theviewfromthenorth.org. "In 1848 the Dalmellington Iron Co opened a large ironworks at Dunaskin near Dalmellington. The works flourished into the twentieth century, but by 1921 had become obsolete...

This interesting find has had many uses but is still known to this day as a Fever Hospital. Opened in 1902 as a fever isolation hospital- treating illnesses such as scarlet fever, diphtheria and meningitis. The Fifeshire Typhoid epidemic in 1903 ensured that the hospital was full to capacity...

I am an amateur urban explorer and keen to discover more. The best site I have found so far is the Botanical Gardens I discovered in Kilcreggan, Scotland which I visited on 6/6/2019. I spent nearly 4 hours here exploring all the overgrown pathways and buildings but did not bump into a single...

I came across this abandoned primary school whilst traveling from Birkwood Castle to Hartwood Hospital on some country roads in a little village. Real quiet place with no one around to even ask about it. I have no clue as to what the area was called though, stupid enough to not take note for...

Hi, i'm a long time lurker but i've finally decided to make my first report, I hope I do everything correct :) History This site was originally built as a swimming pool in 1881, until it closed in 1941 and was then bought over by the Greenock Arts Guild Ltd in 1946. In 1949 The Arts Guild...

I am unsure on this but I have been told it's an abandoned MOD site. First spotted it 2 years ago but had never been in untill today. Got a early dart from work so went for a "wee wander" as they say up here!!

History The first school was built in 1890 and designed by Robert Little. When the building was listed in 1996 it was used by Fife Council as employee development, social and community care training center. The second school situated further up the hill, adjacent to the original building was...

Apologies for the picture quality, but I took these nearly nine-and-a-bit years ago with what was then cutting-edge phone camera technology! - My old high school, just before it was demolished:

Hey folks, this is my first post on here, tho I've been an UrbEx-er for a good few years ;) Until about 9 years ago this used to be my head office ...drove past it a few weeks back, only to find it in the process of being demolished. Well, I couldn't miss the opportunity to "find" a way in to...

Hello! So me and Cameron enjoy exploring abandoned shit, explored a lot around the uk and drove to Berlin and explored some ww2 nazi training camps and a ww2 chemical factory which was also cool. In May we decided to go all out and drive from Scotland (Lockerbie) to Chernobyl..calling in at...

Never got round to posting this, visit was about a year before some neds burnt the place. Had family and friends who lived just a short walk from this place, always wanted to pay a visit and glad I did before it went! It was quite trashed compared to early reports but still held a lot of...
