My first report on here and my first explore since i moved to Scotland a year ago. Thought id do something lightweight to start, didnt realise how lightweight it was going to be.
I'd seen this house the first time i visited Loch Katrine and thought it looked quite interesting, it looked derelict, old and quite stately, the perfect place to get some cool interior shots i thought, oh how wrong i was. :fail

Dont know much about the history, situated on the A82 on the hills overlooking Loch Achray next door to the Queen Victoria Hotel, probably Victorian.
I think it must have been some lucky batstardos house at one point.

Anyways heres some pictures.

Oh noes it locked
