    Post Cottage at Lock Ken, Galloway - June 2012

    With the impending gluttony of unashamed rolalisim that is the Jubilee, the wife and I decided to make better use of the 4 day weekend by jetting off to far-flung sunny Scotland for a camping trip. About 3 minutes walk from our campsite was this little beauty. What appeared to be along the lines of a gardener's cottage for the main house of the grounds (which was much more occupied so not featured in this report).

    Would have liked to had a look but no easy way up.

    Not the biggest or most impressive site, I'll grant you but it's always nice to stumble across these little nooks every now and again. Consider this a taster course to the 40-odd building WWII munitions factory site we visited the following day...

    Shame about the inside, the outside looks super cool! I enjoyed the Starter- When's the main course?!

    Outside looks the bomb.
    Inside looks like the bomb has hit!

    Cheers for sharing fella - always nice to stumble across places like this.

    Looks like a failed renovation job- but a nice looking building from the outside.
