Out of everywhere I never expected to find myself over the last year or so, this has to be top of the list. I can remember Rob Roy being one of the first places I saw photos of when I began browsing exploring forums in 2006/2007, and indeed it's been on my 'to do' list practically since I started this hobby back in 2009. The last photos I can remember seeing were taken in 2012, six years ago, so I didn't hold out much hope of it still being there. However finding myself up in Aberdeen the temptation was too much, so before checking into our hotel for the night we went for a little look to see whether it was still there.

I never in my wildest dreams thought we'd drive past and see caravans still there, I can easily say I've never been so happy to see a mobile home before. From the road it looked as if a small part of it had been converted into a gated retirement home but there was still a sizeable area left derelict, so early the next morning we fought our way across the wasteland and got in. It quickly became apparent that although it's still there right now, it won't be for very long - maybe 1/2 of the site has been either flattened or turned into the gated retirement community, and with a large JCB on site and piles of reclaimed stuff and building materials dotted around near the developed part, it looks as if active demolition is taking place.

However what is left is very much still there in all it's wonderfully dated glory, I didn't venture into many of the homes as most of the floors are absolutely shot, however quite a few had exterior walls fallen away I could shoot through.

Never seen the appeal of this place. I was dragged there years ago and I thought it was a fetid hole even then. It angers me that it is even still allowed to exist.

At least I can now say I've explored trailer parks in both the USA and UK which is a somewhat dubious honour at best :p

Interesting to see the current state. In Aberdeen a fair bit, but it's never been high on my list of places to visit even though I remember reports from years ago too.

wow interesting this got bumped...
reminds me of the time I took the family to a caravan holiday that came with some collect the tokens from the Sun (the newspaper is scum and I wouldn't get it otherwise, but the Mrs was pressuring me), so: the too-good-to-be-true £15 family holiday was on... the catch? Well it was a caravan park on the outskirts of Jaywick jaywick - Google Search even for £15 that was a ripoff. The photos above may be from somewhere else but they bring back memories of that holiday, happy times... The kids never thanked me, ungrateful so and sos.

It was being demolished four and a half years ago, I doubt it is still there.
