Castle in the Woods

This manor house is a place I have wanted to see for ages, but as it was so ridiculously far away from my home base, located a stones throw from the Scottish border I had never considered it, until my annual trip to Scotland came about and well it'd be rude to not pop in whilst passing, right? Especially as it made a good point to aim for a soon-after-dawn explore having travelled through the night.

The original, oldest part of the building was constructed between 1787 and 1790 complete with a four storey Gothic tower in the centre, with a large extension to the west wing added in 1870. It has been empty in part since at least the early 1950s, the listing text submitted to English Heritage states that at the time the survey was done in 1951 it was empty and partially derelict. Fast forward to the present day and it's fair to say it's not in the best shape internally! Many of the floors are rotted through, too sketchy to cross or just collapsed completely, however it's almost totally natural decayed state suits my tastes perfectly.

After parking up we made our way through the trees and quickly found a way inside, and spent an undisturbed hour or so poking around and trying not to fall through anything. Externally it's an amazing looking building, and the way it suddenly reveals itself through the trees is pretty awesome.

The old gatehouse is still lived in a hundred or so metres from the house, so I guess they keep it looking neat and tidy on the outside. They obviously don't care about the building though as it's pretty open!
