    That house was built STRONG it’s standing the test of time and weather I hope someone lives in it again and breathes new life in to it, I think it deserves a family with the sound of laughter within its walls and children running up and down the stairs once more .

    This is a beautiful piece of Scottish history. All of those old photos' of a very happy family who once lived and died there. Its in great condition and you can tell it was once someones happy home. I hope someone restores it and a new family moves in. thank you for posting.

    Not sure how property law works in scotland and UK but in Australia, if a property has been vacant for a successive period of time and council rates or taxes havent been paid in that time, a person is able to claim ownership via adverse possession laws, they must pay the council land taxes due in that time and can take ownership.....its something people should look into as it stops the decline of such beautiful properties falling into further decline...

    Something soothing, calming about your vids,I am a fussy person, don't like annoyance, noise pollution,unnecessary irritating false presentation like talking to fill a gap I guess in a nutshell just as it comes a natural flow of energy, I carnt sit and watch any film
    But feel totally happy, relaxed watching use!
    It's brilliant , home from home and no bloody ads cracking your chain of thoughts, rattling your nerves, no terrible background sounds like on other channels playing Funeral music,
    I don't get why they don't know how to keep it real
    Just Thankful to you all for you 🐋💜

    Look like people cleared out all the furniture. And left all the pictures of the family. Pictures can never be replaced. Unless you have negatives. I'm sure there's not any. The pictures were very old. Was a nice place when it was newer. Nice to look through it now. The sewing machine sitting outside. Is an antique. This should have been kept inside. All of you be careful and have a good evening.

  • @sarahstrong7174
    @sarahstrong7174 Před 4 lety +2

    Looks like they burnt the furniture. Full of woodworm maybe. Hopefully they have been giving it a clearout prior to some family member coming to live there with all the clan photos. They shouldn't have put that old sewing machine out like that. Apart from the historical value, you can get good money for those. They have enough sheds they could leave it in. I don't think that place is exactly abandoned, just not occupied right now. It's a new roof on the outhouse & new bolts on the doors & the bonfire was recent.

    Nice farmhouse. Quality wood doors, trim, and fireplaces throughout. Shame it's standing empty like so many rural places are these days, losing yet another bit of history. Beautiful views, don't get that in crowded urban areas. Not surprised about the pictures, no one wants them anymore. We have 2 huge boxes of family pics in our basement from my husband's folk's house. No one wants them in his family, either. Sad. Thanks for the explore, nice spot.

    Box those photos up please and take to your local historical society for save keeping. Put the address on box where they came from. Just drop the box on the door step for the historical society to find. Many folks are doing their family trees and they were be so treasured by someone. Usually historical societies appreciate these kind of things and the photos should probably be safe there.
