I see they have removed the asbestos notices from there !
Great set of images all the same schiehallion.
It still reminds me of Boghall Bathgate on a saturday night though.

Aye it was a dead sheep in a room. I was creeping along an empty corridor when a door burst open and a sheep and its' lamb came hurtling out in panic. I screamed like a big lassie.

Great wee day out - go the scenic route - take the car over Wemyss Bay to Rothesay then drive up to Rhubodach and go across the Kyles Of Bute to Colintraive then round by Tighnabruaich to Portavadie. Or go Gourock-Dunoon. Top it off with a foot passenger return trip Portavadie to Tarbert and a cone out the wee cafe.

Cracking pics Schiehallion.
Is that the village which was built by a Local Council for shipping business that never came? Occupied or abandoned; the place just looks grim and creepy to me.

Aye it was built for the oil rig construction industry but never inhabited.
