10 eerie abandoned places in Scotland that have lain empty for years
There's something eerily fascinating about abandoned places, melancholy reminders of previous eras with seemingly little purpose in the modern world.
Yet they linger on regardless, empty though very much a part of the built environment. Like many ancient lands steeped in history, Scotland is a vast repository of forgotten places that span the centuries. From ruined medieval castles and remote ghost villages to foreboding Victorian hospitals, railway stations and a former Seminary, it’s not difficult to see how, over time, myths arise and superstition takes hold.
