Abandoned Haunted Mansion - SCOTLAND

- Exploring an abandoned haunted mansion, iv actually been here before about 4 years ago so i decided to pay this mansion one last visit and its in a sorry state now, the stair case leading up to some rooms have collapsed in on itself so we couldn't go any further up, also got a catch up with my mate i haven't seen in about 4 years so we done this explore together...
RAW Footage in Scotland
I heard a woman at 20:48, humming "hmm" tones going up "hmmm" tones going down, as if she was playing with a Baby on her knees. Her voice sounds very content and playful. It's nice to hear a happy ghost.😊
I remember visiting this place as a child when it was still occupied, just on the outside. It's set in such a magnificent part of countryside. We sometimes go for walks there now. Such a shame it fell to ruin, but the economics of restoring it are unworkable. It will happen to a lot of large country houses in Scotland (and other countries). They are just too big for anyone to manage or afford now. Would cost 3,000 quid a month for heating. When you realise there is a housing shortage of 3 million homes in the UK and then you see this.
From the outside, it was massive and well built walls. I would have loved to see this beautiful ruin 500 or more years ago. A terrible shame it couldn't be saved. It is haunting in its ruined state. Great explore, risky too...
Thanks!
Much due to idiots that think busting out the windows was cute.
How sad to have to leave such a magnificent structure to the elements.
Ano
I always wonder what happened? Did people die and no one wanted to deal with the place?
2 sisters lived in the house till circa
1990s then it was abandoned due to dry rot
That's what's caused all the damage
It's beautiful
That place must have been absolutely gorgeous back in the day. It's such a shame to see it the way it is now. Great vid Alec & Co. Ta for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Such a shame, parts of this house go back centuries. Can't believe how bad it's got. Won't mention name or location but there are several videos of this house over the years. The last occupiers were two sisters, one having died in the 1980's and the other the early 90's. They seemingly only lived in a couple of the rooms. It has been in the same family hands for centuries and they should be utterly ashamed letting it get into this state. It is on a working estate with cottages around that are holiday homes, pretty crap ones if you read the google reviews! The owners of the estate have always been anti-selling saying they had plans for the house to be turned into holiday accommodation, sadly that has never materialised.
Also some thieving scumbag has taken the plaque that was above the piano which had a bit about the house history.
Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!
Such a shame to see buildings with actual owners being left to decay. They should be forced to pony up to preserve them or made to sell them on to someone (private buyer or some kind of historical/other org) who will actually keep them up. Great video, you've got a new fan.
What a magnificent place. There's still enough left that we can imagine how grand it must have been many years ago. Sad that no one was able to recycle materials from this house. I'm sure someone got things like chandeliers or perhaps some of the plumbing. But oh my word, would I love to see those staircases or wooden doors recycled into another home to be loved by someone. Very sad that such craftsmanship will now disappear. ~Sherrie in South Carolina (USA)
I know its sad to see these places fall to ruin, thanks for watching
This is by far the most treacherous exploration I've ever seen - it was quite an experience, so glad you're all safe!!
My heart was in my throat. Every step I thought you were going to fall. Great place. 😀💙🏴
Got to take a few risks, thanks for watching!
Does anybody else like the sound of crunchy gravel under their feet as they walk?
It's terribly hard to understand with the Scottish Brogue.
No...
Totally love it, it's so exciting. Seriously! I don't know why though.
For some reason, I’m in the mood for cereal
Yes i love it
Thank you guys for being brave enough to give us a tour through what must have been an amazing castle. Its heart breaking to see the ruins of what must have been stunning in it's day!! I can just imagine as you go from room to room what it would have looked and sounded like when it was filled with the owners and their staff. Thank you again for taking us all on a magical journey
Thanks for watching
Thank you 💞
I can imagine ripping through those landings as a kid. Oh what fun. Amazing staircase 👍
Scotland has always been on my bucket list...i want my own castle!
My relatives sold their house in Selby and bought a five acre farm with a large house in Aberchirder, Scotland. So it's do-able and you can charge holiday makers who stay at your castle. 🏰
Another great video, A lot can happen in four years. Maybe in another four years this place will just be a pile of rubble.
it will most definitely be in ruin soon enough
@Exploring with Alec, I believe this castle was on a show about the most haunted castle in Europe, and they told stories about it and at the time it was all open still. It was in rough shape then, but wasn't all bricked up and caved in at the back or at all, but correct me about it if I'm wrong
Yes its going down hill fast , up and down the country there are hundreds like this just to costly to keep and lost forever .well done guys this was a brave effort in a very dangerous explore its amazing how fast they go down once the water gets in
Thanks for watching!
I wish we knew what it looked like before it ended up that way. What a beautiful place and so sad that it is in it's current condition.
I once explored a massive mansion in West Yorkshire neae Halifax. with huge range of buildings attached. Worse condition than this. It was bought and completely renovated, remember s huge tower crane in it's courtyard. Now absolutely unaffordable apartments within the structure. Original staircase restored with glass walled lifts serving 4 floors of absolute luxury. Basement gym and 25m pool with spa etc. Outbuildings divided into 4 floor luxury townhouses with use of spa and pool. Only £1.25m each... 3 bed ensuite apartments like £750,000! Service charge £1200 per month!! Ridiculous! Surprised nobody buys any ofvthe hotels and mansion you explored, have better grounds and views.
Leads by motorway only 13 minutes, by train 8 minutes and London 2hrs. Ones you're explored too far from anywhere but more magnificent.
I love this one. The thought of ghosts scares me lol. I grew up in an antebellum mansion built in the 1800s and I know that SOB was haunted. 😂
Great spot. Looked a bit haired up but still so cool looking, and as others have said, really must've been something back in the day. Could tell by the doors and woodwork toward the end of the video that the central staircase was way grand! So sad another bit of history wil be a shell soon, like some of the other extremely old stone dwellings you've explored. Thanks for the effort of touring this place before it disappears. Wasn't exactly easy for sure! You do have some beautiful countryside there.
Thanks for the kind works i would of loved to have seen this back in the day when it wasn't is so bad a shape, thanks for watching
You guys are BRAVE to go in there. Seems like the whole shabang could cave in anytime now. That piano was so cool - must be centuries old. Thanks for the vid.
J. Thompson no worries won’t be long before it falls to ruin thanks for watching
How great to see these forgotten places thank u xx
Aww... this is a true waste. I mean, look how beatiful this little castle is! It's merely falling apart and this is really sad!
What great architecture! This old place is needing the ownership of someone who appreciates it and can see the potential there
Omg you both are crazy it’s so dangerous in there ! Sadly it’s in such a state must have been beautiful at one point ! Thanks for your explore !
It sure was thanks for watching
Look at that stone work.Smazing
I holiday near there and have been in it. An old lady lived in one part of it until 1972. There are the remains of a piano just behind the blue door and during ww2 it was home to some of the polish army. The plaque mentioning it is still there...or was upto 2017
It should be criminal to leave places like this.. If family cannot afford upkeep then sell or donate it.. Such a waste.. If only those walls could speak
im being serious when i say this was excellent,another quality vid,keep up the good work
Cheers buddy
Great explore. Love the timber work, stairs and light switches. Shame for such a lovely old building. Best wishes, Paul Carpenter in Lower Boddington
Thanks buddy!
Glad you guys got in to explore!
Thank you
They don’t actually go in anywhere untill about 11 minutes in but good video I’m glad I found your channel I have been binge watching since I watched the first video ❣️❤️❣️ keep up the good work I can’t imagine being able to explore abandoned mansions and houses buildings that has to be so awesome
Tashia Juarez thanks it’s dangerous but worth it
Great explore but very dangerous. Stay safe.
Always! thanks for watching
Without a good solid roof, the rest goes back to nature.. danger explore.
Sounds about right, thanks for watching
20:49 a woman speaks, cannot tell what she is saying, but she is there sure enough. Well done, I do not know how you did that. I bet it was a beautiful place. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for watching
TheWatanna i heard it
TheWatanna man amazing catch I hear it too. That’s creepy as
The woman said "ghost do not exist, get orf my land"
I can hear min. 20:47 a woman saying "Thank you".
Once a stately manor is now just rubble. A crying shame that masterpieces of history are left to their own destruction. And this is happening around the world. Why?
Thank you guys. This place it's very Beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love watching these video, thanks 🤗
Thanks for watching
The introduction of death duties is the reasonn for many abandoned places, and also the upkeep
From the collapses, strewn bits & pieces, and Graffiti, it looks like you are not the only one having been exploring. Too bad some folk cannot leave things alone, & not leave their marks on walls !
I know thanks for watching
Why does this happen so often, the money from recycling these magnificent homes should be put into a fund to save other historic home's!
Debbie Mitchell BRUSH STROKES by an artist it's called the national trust.
Geez that's a death trap fella .... good explore tho! Strange the way the landscape and the ground around the house is so well maintained? Also the outside looks great ...
There's a few holiday homes near it thanks for watching
Alec do ya not have any pics of what it was like before, like of the cradle? And Scott looks like a farmer x
Yeah i do actually
Reminds a bit of the now wide open kitchening Range at Bolsover Castle.
You were taking your life in your hands going there! It looks incredibly dangerous. I think perhaps you may have explored there before as you mentioned “the room with the cradle” and “eight years ago there’d been a plaque”? Do you have a video of that somewhere, please? The natural deterioration is awful but the graffiti etc is sadder. You have respected it by just taking photos. Glad you stayed safe.
Thanks and yes i believe i do, you'd need to go back through them all im sure its there somewhere if i find it i'll link you to it
Exploring with Alec
Thank you! I’m slowly working my way through all the videos you have posted.
@@aliciarobertson4979 Thanks appreciate it
Aristocracy isn't what it once was.
The upkeep, groundskeeper and so on just make it impossible for someone who inherited such a building who isn't wealthy and the family silvers all gone, places like this have no chance.
Please take care of yourself and stay safe when making a video of such a dilapidated yet beautiful house.
What an old relic ..shame it is so dangerous to get into
All the rich heritage of Scotland .......gone. Such a shame and no date or history on this mansion. If only the roof was replaced, a great deal of this damage would never have occurred.
Gloria Hanes if only, you say......
I totally agree with you. But why would they spend 50-100k to put a roof on ???
Like making a ceramic lid for a chocolate teapot 😏Shame and a waste.
Cannot believe how much this place has deteriorated in only a few years, not that long ago you could walk straight in the front door and admire the stunning staircase, all credit to you for your method of entry and a great explore, were there still any manequins left lying about?
i worked for the last owner of this house and knew it well
It was full of beautiful furniture and pictures and although shabby and needing work the elderly owner hoped that her nephew would live there and restore the whole house
The key broke in the front door and it was 6 months before they could get someone to repair it
I have a large photo of her mother being presented at court in 1887 and at one had the presentation dress later remodelled as her wedding dress (Captain Mc Neill -Hamilton) see Dark Lady of Broomhill
Sorry guys. But I think sound could be better and video quality improvement. Your content is good and deserves better. Crack On. Challenges are a good thing
This place has really gone. Must have been nice in its day. Made me nervous too I though that either the floor would give way or the ceiling would collapse in your heads. You really are brave bro. Too scary foe me. Later. I'd also like to See that video of your last visit.
I will never understand why anyone who owns something like this who doesn’t want to restore this or can’t, would rather let it rot than sell it to someone who would have the means to restore it to it’s original grandeur.
So great,i love this House,and i love your Kamera work. The Sound wen you move Back is so cool
Sally Fröhner thanks
Essas casas são de verdade,por que eu adoro ver, descobrir algo incrível.
Do you still have a video of your first visit here? It would be great to see it all, and how quickly it has deteriorated from then to now?
Enjoyed the video, but you 2 risked yourselves for going in there, glad you made it out safely
Michelle Login thanks we do it for the love of it and to entertain you guys lol
The woman scared me at the end lol wasn't expecting anyone to be there .
I've flown the drone here. Awesome place.
AGRS1974 I wouldn’t mind one of them, i’v never operated one though I’d probably crash it lol 😂
@@ExploringwithAlec where you based Alec?
@@agrs1974 Glasgow
WOW this place is a dream for every Explorer very Beautiful and thank jou so much for sharing i realy enjoy every minute. I am new to your channel but i realy come a next time. Fantastic✌😃
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
if you had got to that about 2 years ago all the roof was still intact.. we've been up on the top floor walking about and it was all fine, went back a couple months ago and it's all to fuck
I was in there 6 year ago
So sad these beautiful places are left to rot.
Death taxes were probably the culprit in letting this grand castle going into ruin.
You could do with a telescopic 11foot ladder, light, easy to transport, no brainier, really.
Hey Alec! What a place. I thought it was going to collapse on you guys, so glad you made it out safe and sound. How long has it been abandoned? Looks like it was pretty amazing back in the day. I love how you show how you get to the place and how you get in, that one was quite the challenge. Love your videos so much. Take care :)
Thanks for watching, I Think its been Abandoned since the early 80's or 90's
The mansion would of been very cold in the winter and damp
I’m enjoying these videos,this one is in really bad shape,I love exploring old buildings,wish I could go there lol!😆
Wow! So neat
13.47 looks like a faint white shadow of a women when you turn to the left after your pal says "what ashame"
I wondered what that was?
Where, what you talking about!!??
Turn your screen brightness up. And watch carefully after his pal says what a shame the camera turns to the left and it looks like a faint white shadow of a women 👍
I would say the small cottage you walked past must have been the game keepers lodge
What architecture! Another grand building crying out for an owner who would give it the care it needs .
Nice explore lads 👌
Thanks
What a shame it would have made a beautiful B & B in its day! Beautiful place though! I can only imagine how life was in those days! My heart was jumping out in this video, be safe always!!! Another great video Alec & gang!!!❤️🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
Very risky I'm not sure about haunted , its so wasted ...but i love the staircase , nice driveway must have been nice with flowers and trees in summer..Jeez but that was a hell of a house... they even closed the windows with bricks.. must be demolished and the goverment can built a home or hospital in that big ground.
That place is in a terrible mess and state of decay. Nothing in there but rubbish. It’s awful. The outside was better than the inside. Just leave and let it go. You said you were there four years go and it wasn’t half as bad.
Wtf Alec man that was place looked like a bomb had hit it , yet again Spider-Man gets in ya took to life in your hands there pal , I don’t think this place canna be saved , great explore Alec thx .
Thanks buddy its beyond repair now no one is interested in saving this place, your right though i deffo wont be back there its a death trap! thanks for watching
Nice work guys,
Was in here about 5 years ago
A right dodgy one but you both managed it
It sure was thanks for watching
I'll take it!!! This reminds me of an old building on the way to Oakley and they changed it to flats. What a braw building it must have been! So sad.
WOW! Wish it could have been saved and restored.
Were the rock bricks different colors? It looks a bit different to me...
Green - blue - pink/orange?
Maybe it is the sun hitting it at different angles?
What a shame,it looked nice from the outside.But when you went in,well it was so dangerous,you both were lucky you never hurt yourselves.Thankyou for showing us though,good video stay safe all of you.xx
Susan Lennard thanks it’s safe to say I won’t be back in there!
I last visited around 6 or 7 years ago at whch time you could walk in the front door, the windows were not bricked up then either, I am astounded at how much it has deteriorated over the years, barely recognisable inside now, lovely big main staircase cillapsed too, what will become of it I wonder?
finnichglen won’t belong before it falls to ruin thanks for watching
I wonder where all there furniture went maybe the owners moved out and took furniture with them
It must have been beautiful before it started falling apart. Quite a maze getting through the building. Very dangerous inside and outside.
It sure was thanks for watching
What a tragic loss to not repurpose the grand master carpenters beautify work and architecture ! The staircase and doors are beautiful. I was able to understand through your thick accent, "Are you stay'n Here?" said to the girl, I would have agreed with her!
That would have been a beautiful house at once shame its gone to ruin
Super dangerous - should not have been in there - risking your lives
I wonder what will become of it, is it salvageable? Shame if not.
Q lugar mais lindo👏👏👏✌🙋
Here is the other question, I've never been to auld brigaduen ( Brigadoon), I have heard there are auld gohsts, popping up in that wee tad of a place.... I was going to check in on it but I went away to Canada at that time...
...but, anyway, I heard that there was the white houses, like Orkney,there.... could be bullocks.lol
That place looked somewhat great from the outside. Alec, did you previously do a video to this place? If so, could you please send me the link? I’m curious to see how much it changed. I’m glad you and Scott got in and out of this trashed mansion in one piece. Thumbs up 👍 from me. Thank you 😊
Thanks for the kind words Chrissy, i'll have a look through my videos and see if its there, and send you the link
Exploring with Alec Thank you 😊
Where is this place , would love to read up about it's history
Next time mate's bring a bloody ladder !!!😂😡
Beautiful place yet very dangerous to explore!
Marisela Jimenez it sure was thanks for watching
👍🇲🇽😃🏴♥️👍
!!!!!! Love ♥️🏴!!!!!
Alex were you at this one before. It looks familiar. 👍🙏🏻
Yeah
That is sad! BUT,,,, It's nothing a few million bucks couldn't fix!
Awesome but I can't understand a word they are saying. ..I m from new York city..new sub..
We're Scottish so accent is a bit strong sorry lol, thanks for watching
@@ExploringwithAlec ya all are awesome
I dated a Scotsman back in the 90's. He died but I kept friends with his mother until she died a few years ago. I once was accustomed to the accent and lingoes but it's been a while, and I forgot. I'm sure if I watch a few more of your videos, it will come back to me. Nice old castle, such a shame it fell into such disrepair. Why did the girl stay behind? I would have been in there in a heartbeat.
Maureen v thanks 😘
Deirdre Pasko thanks for watching and she stayed back because it was too dangerous for her 👌
Great video. Where can I find other videos that are older of this gorgeous place?
Cool exploring 👍
Seth Munday thanks man
