Enjoyed the slideshow dinkydarko. Thanks!

Quite arty pics - even the deed burd!

I actually feel like I've been round that place thanks to this thread.

I was thinking exactly the same thing but thought it might just be me who didn't know.

Phew!

So what the fark is it??

On a note on there demolition, there are warning signs put up around the entrance stating that the buildings must not be vandalised due to the bats which live there. Does anyone know if they will just pull it all down anyways or do they have to get special permission or just do it when the bats ain...

Thanks Fraz. Great pics BTW.

I don't know what I find more surprising; the fact it's been vandalised at all or that it hasn't been trashed completely?!

Keys still in locks after 30 years - amazing!

I never knew the place existed. I know I've passed by that way dozens of times too.

Brilliant stuff! Love it!

Just have to find out where this is!!

I'll have a look tomorrow when I'm passing and see whats there. Well I drove past where the milestone is marked on the map, both directions, twice in fact and slowly both times and I COULD NOT see a milestone. The grass verges are quite overgrown at the moment but I'm 90% sure there's not one there.

Any pictures? Where's the foaties?

Yes, that is a very scary bit of road!

There's a milestone marked on the map Toomse posted.
Not sure what date this map is though. Toomse?...

Sorry [blushes] PPM, the thread has got big and I forgot about your post. I'll delete mine in a wee while, got to dash out for a wee bit. No worries. Thought I was loosing my marbles for a minute there though ::): I was actually going to walk it today but then the rain came on and a repeat of Timet...

Now if you started at Lenziemill Road and walked up the remains of the tramway to where it met the tunnel, what would you find? I wonder if they've maybe just forgot to fill in that end? Hmm?! That's what I was meaning when I wrote the above a few posts ago. (??) I've tried to have a look from Lenz...

Just looking at the last map you posted PPM. With Cleddans just directly west of Riggend perhaps that awkward farmer’s got the stone stashed in his secret tunnel. :) Yes, along with Shergar, The Ark of the Covenant and The Fallen Madonna With The Big BOObies! The way he acted that day I went up, I'...

Is it possible...... and this is a long shot, but is it possible that the stone along with lots of others was quarried, loaded onto train wagons and intended for the buidling of the Wallace Monument in Stirling? The monument was built in the 1860's so its intirely feasible that the stones and build...

Here's another couple of even older maps of the area for anyone interested; This map shows that in 1821 there was no road between the lochs (Fannyside Road as we know it) and that the main road through the area was to the south of the west loch. I say road but it was obviously only a track for a hor...

Yes, it's worth a visit if you're in the area. Stopped by it last week and the grass around it was well long! Cracking views too from near Brackenhirst Farm out over Glesga n' that - right out to Arran! Anyone thinking of going should also consider visiting the Drumbowie Anti Aircraft Battery about ...
