Description
Scotland's rich history and culture are still visible in its abandoned landscapes. From ancient Roman incursions to Viking raids and clan wars, the country's past is etched into every corner. This book takes you on a journey to explore the remnants of Scotland's turbulent past. You'll discover the ruins of Glen O'Dee Hospital, the rusting rides and rollercoasters of Loudoun Castle Theme Park, and the labyrinthine Cults Limestone Mine. The photographs in this book bring these forgotten places to life, revealing the stories behind them. You'll also see the massive World War II teeth created to block the Firth of Forth, and explore atmospheric castles like Buchanan Castle on Loch Lomond. With 180 photographs, Abandoned Scotland provides a fascinating glimpse into Scotland's lesser-known corners.
