Mini-Explores

This blog post is dedicated to those smaller explores in which either not enough photographs were taken to allow for a full post on the location or there was very little to see of the building(s).

Farmhouse Ruin

 This first location was discovered by chance whilst driving on the motorway in Glasgow. The farmhouse is visible just off the road, however, reaching it was rather difficult as it was located at the dead end of a single road which was rather obscure.

The buildings which are accessible contain mainly rubble and appear to be degrading over time. One of the outbuildings looks as though it used to function as a milking parlour for dairy cows.

As evident, the ceiling has fallen through in the main house and completely blocks access to the building.

Derelict Mansion

 Built back in the 1800s, this mansion has taken many forms over the years before becoming as it is now. The building functioned as a home, school and even a hotel before its closure.

Derelict Hospital Glasgow

Originally constructed and opened as a general dispensary in 1788, this abandoned infirmary wasn't developed into a functioning hospital until 1850 after it serving as a House of Recovery for 45 years. Since its closure in the 1980s, some of the infirmary buildings have been developed into private-owned flats whilst the rest of the hospital sits still vacant. Of what remains, there are four floors accessible within the building via three main staircases and one smaller set of stairs towards the edge of the property. Despite their being unusable, elevators intended for patient-use remain alongside service lifts. Entire wings of the hospital are accessible, however, their condition has severely deteriorated since the infirmary was in operation with wallpaper tearing away from the walls and entire roofs giving way. Some of the particularly interesting rooms within the property include; A grand office... The infirmary chapel... It is not only the s

Seminary Ruin Dumbarton

Formerly a Roman Catholic Seminary, location four has been standing since 1966 and has taken many forms since its construction fifty-some years ago. The building itself initially served as an educative site to training priests yet has also fulfilled alternative purposes over its lifetime such as functioning as a drug rehabilitation centre in the 1980s. Site Gates ft. Roscoe On the outskirts of the main building just past the site gates sits the remnants of a small outhouse just off to the side of the path. Extreme degradation to the site itself is evident when compared with its condition when in operation. This is easily attributable to extensive fire and water damage over the years alongside constant exposure to year-round harsh Scottish weather conditions. Source: Wikipedia Very little of what once was remains within the ruin. Central staircases in each building are fenced and inaccessible, however prayer rooms are still standing alongside tiled bathrooms.

WELCOME

Whilst throughout the lifespan of ‘Aygo Urban Exploring’ a number of location names will be withheld, there is one name which can be shared. Let me introduce to you the man, the myth, the legend himself…Roscoe the Aygo. Indeed, this is the plastic chariot which carts two absolutely stunning creatures and a ginger to various locations across Scotland in search of all things vacant, derelict and abandoned under the control of a driver who might as well be certified legally blind. Wherever he goes, I go…
