In #Scotland we are spoilt. Beautiful scenery, landscapes with changing seasons, and so much to explore. Also, there are a lot of abandoned places and buildings. These places have their own story. I find myself imagining who walked there before me.
These posts are photographs from the places I visit. Where possible, I try to include a little history about the location. Often there isn’t any information. This all adds to the mystery. Enjoy ~
