ABANDONED 18th Century Castle Style Mansion! (Beautifully Decaying)

[@jvatell6111]

Wow!!! Can you just imagine how many servants, maids and other help needed to maintain her. She must have been beautiful and the views just spectacular. There are/were what was called dumb waiters in the day to hoist food, linens and such up and down to the different floors in large manors and estates. They used a rope and pulley system in the old days. Great video and yes...more!

[@LeeRielly]

I know! It sure must've been a magnificent place back in the day. I thought that's what it would've been for, my mind went blank when I tried to think of the name "dumb waiter" - I'll definitely be up for doing this kind of place again 😀

[@jvatell6111]

Maybe one day if you feel comfortable flying the drone inside take a downward shot of you to show the vastness of the space (doorway was a prime example you stood in) or of closeups of items inside; fireplaces, views out windows and even the staircases looking downwards, etc. I think that would make for some great footage. As always just a suggestion.

[@LeeRielly]

Yeah that's definitely something I'd like to do, although the drone is quite awkward and hefty to carry around all the time, I shoot all of my drone footage at the end; I was actually stood around 1 mile away when I shot the drone footage of this one 😊 so if something went wrong and it crashed inside then it would be a nightmare. - Will hopefully get the chance to experiment with this in the future though!

[@jvatell6111]

I understand. You need the Mavic next... small, lighter, get in tighter places and supposedly just as good as the DJ4 :))

[@Irish.Archer]

yes please do some more castles if you can find them. amazing video !

[@LeeRielly]

I will certainly try to do more Steven, thank you!

[@Irish.Archer]

sweet

[@shadowedtiger2486]

It's great to use our imagination.. lovely building. From Staffordshire 😊

[@nursea5839]

My most favorite abandon castle documentary! It s so amazing..

[@littgaia2939]

To me, it's heartbreaking to see so magnificent a place so neglected.

[@oliviathomas4813]

I love how much history you put in your videos. It makes them so much more interesting

[@LeeRielly]

Thank you Olivia, I love how you enjoy watching my videos 😊

[@johnward3641]

Another informative and terrific video. People missing out not being aware that your one of the best upcoming explorers out there. SUBSCRIBE now guys and stop wasting time on those fake click bait explorers👍

[@LeeRielly]

Haha, thank you John! - Massively appreciate that mate, I'm just glad that you guys enjoy my videos and hopefully continue to 😀

[@helentrove620]

just subscribed!

[@hansmuller1846]

I absolutely love these places, just as much as your footage of them! Please do more of these, it's greatly appreciated!

[@LeeRielly]

I will certainly be doing more of these kinda places Hans, I'm happy you enjoyed it!

[@tarzan386]

when the drones up high it looks amazing and only when it comes down do you realize its abandoned and old. this building would have so many memories good and bad given its times.

[@linall2345]

LOVED this!! What an amazing and beautiful home it was and still is.

[@ncjeffhyder]

really Amazing! I love the green moss/algae all around the top of the exterior. spiral staircases took a great deal of time and talent.

[@SueGirling68]

Wow what an awesome place, obviously the reason for all the fireplaces was because it was the only way to heat such a huge structure back then. I would love to see more castles and mansions please. Great job maestro. xx

[@wakaywa]

This was very well done. Your photographs were stunning, I love the aqua wall tiles. Thank you so much.

[@LeeRielly]

Thank you very much, Wanda! - I'm glad you liked the video and photographs (a lot of people don't stick around to see the photographs lol)

[@veronicamorgan8103]

Oh yeah, more of these please. what an amazing place. You can only imagine what it was like to live there. 10 thumbs up on this one Lee.

[@LeeRielly]

Thank you Veronica, I'm glad you enjoyed it, is this the type of thing you would like to see more of in the future?

[@veronicamorgan8103]

Yes,very much so. Don't get to see those here in the USA. Even though it was pretty far gone ,you could still see how beautiful it once was. And in it's condition now, it's still beautiful to me.

[@thirdeyeview1111]

Great video, Lee...I would love to see more castles/large homes from days long gone in various stages of decay.👍🎦

[@michaelinman9260]

amazing to see such places before they kinda disappear with time and such a interesting place so atmospheric! :o could just imagine the servants rushing round and the fires burning it just shows how much money some people had back in the day

[@XX-yz6hu]

Wow, how fantastic to come across a place like this. I loved the minimal remnants left over such as the tiles and the lift mechanism. Cool video Lee 👍

[@LeeRielly]

Thank you Katie! It was a cool place wasn't it! - Unbelievable that it's just be left to decay 😯

[@GPOTOM]

Hi Lee, I recommend you go back sometime and look at the basement level, it's amazing. Long, vaulted corridor with lots of vaulted rooms off it. You can get to it by going down the little spiral staircase next to the main entrance, alternatively there's a stairway down from the courtyard to the left of where the front door is. I grew up near Dalquharran and have spent many years exploring it, every time I visit I find something new. The big central staircase used to be complete and you could climb right up to the top level (nowhere to go from there of course). Oh and the lift is an old dumb waiter, there were two of them in the building, the big one you found and a smaller one at the other end. Great video, love seeing aerial shots too.

[@kelseyframe3418]

Wow! What a great place. You can almost imagine what it would look like back in the day what with the fireplaces and tiles. Would love to see you do more of these types of places. Another good one Lee, Thank you :)

[@LeeRielly]

It's mental isn't it! I can't imagine the owners at the time would have ever thought that this is how it would eventually look!

[@kelseyframe3418]

Lee Rielly I know, it's a shame in a way but still a thing of beauty that, through your lens, we can appreciate.

[@AppalachianPythons78]

Another awesome explore! And yes, definitely do more castles, they're always gems no matter their state of decay! :-)

[@DanJordan-k8y]

This is first rate. I enjoy this kind of find as I don't personally get to see this sort of thing as I don't live in the UK. This was truly a great video of an abandoned castle.

[@LeeRielly]

Glad you enjoyed it! - I loved this place, the ruinous look was just beautiful.

[@SuicideCinema]

Didn't know your channel until now. Brilliant looking video, I like your editing style!

[@grantpaterson8963]

Visited recently - great explore. The way down to the basement is the first spiral staircase you looked at, beside the main doors. Great vid.

[@baylaschauer3122]

great video! loved it!

[@cocteaufan]

I love the enthusiasm you have for these places and I too like places like this. I think this was on my "to do" list on one of my visits north of the border but never made it.

[@LeeRielly]

It is a really cool place, nothing really there but that's why it's so special 🙂

[@mazmorbid5840]

Another great video Lee, nicely done, a shame no one can afford to maintain them and they are left to rot away :(

[@nataliat.photography8098]

I'm with you! That room with the windows was awesome!!! I wish I could shoot something there! Thanks for the video!

[@asankaw1]

i believe this is the first time i drop into your channel.. very nicely done.. impressed.. it must have been an amazing castle one time.. still has its grandeur showing there.. thanks for sharing.. great video

[@LeeRielly]

Thank you very much! - I hope to see you in the comments on future videos 😀

[@asankaw1]

[@modelogic101]

[@Mrsterry22]

[@LeeRielly]

No, thank YOU for watching them! I'm glad you enjoy them 😀

[@luckyme398]

YES MORE CASTLES ! that was awesome . great job , to bad you couldn't get down to the cellar !

[@LeeRielly]

Thank you Shawn, I'm surprised at how many people want to see more castles, I never expected such a positive response! 😀

[@emeraldlynx7]

Beautiful place. Well done👏

[@Dontwantahandle0]

Well done!

[@VixOfAllTrades]

Fully love and appreciate your work dude! This is stunning x

[@LeeRielly]

Thanks a lot! My effort is worth it if it means it's an enjoyable watch for you guys 😀 x

[@mariesmith599]

I loved the stone spiral staircase also. Can you imagine how it was put together?

[@Piecemaker1623]

Amazing place. Oh to she her in her glory.

[@stacyrena6284]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 💙

[@michelemorgan5118]

great video and beautiful castle

[@dboyzproduction7181]

It's really cool building.. i'm waiting forward for you to the explore like thiz again..

[@LeeRielly]

Thanks matey! Will definitely do more of these ruin type places

[@bremnersghost948]

awesome explore, top job

[@sallyann1363]

Great video! I love seeing abandoned historical places. Such a shame they are left to ruin though.

[@LeeRielly]

Thanks Sally, I'm surprised so many people seem to like this kind of thing, I was expecting a lot of negative feedback on this but lots of people like yourself seem to like it! - Would you like to see more of these on my channel?

[@sallyann1363]

Lee Rielly Absolutely!

[@kellymyers5903]

great video keep up the good work God bless

[@srevero1]

Loved this video and definitely would like to see more castle explores.

[@LeeRielly]

Thank you Suzanne, glad you enjoyed it, I shall certainly be doing more of this kind of content in the future 🙂

[@cjohnson4342]

Really nice job and history

[@janramey9811]

Beautiful.

[@cyberjack]

its a "dumb waiter" for sending up food from kitchens to upper floors so the servants would remain hidden

[@firestormthereddragongamer4539]

This is really great video.

[@LeeRielly]

Thanks buddy!

[@BCaldwell]

Notification squad! I'm one of the viewers who thinks this place is awesome. I love your content and it's presentation more with every new video. Cheers from Florida ..... Brian

[@LeeRielly]

Thank you Brian! - Glad that notification worked and that you didn't miss the video 😊 , I'm glad you appreciate the effort that I go through to make good quality videos 😀

[@catwoman2967]

Beautiful! I wonder the history of the place.

[@sunshynkat3548]

The elevator thingy you were wondering about is called a "dumb waiter". Sent food up to other floors and could could send down dirty dishes back down and dirty laundry also instead of walking things up and down.

[@atraceintime6705]

I loved the video!!!!

[@Lockhartisminecraft]

Amazing that somewhere like this is actually abandoned, it looks like it's some kind of historic building that ordinarily you'd have to pay to get into. None the less, it's an amazing building with crazy architecture.

[@LeeRielly]

Crazy isn't it! - You'd assume they would do tours of this place or something but it's just sitting there, slowly crumbling.

[@Lockhartisminecraft]

Lee Rielly Yeah, I'd assume that at some point someone will buy the land and turn it into a new house. I must hope that they keep the same shell of the building and keep all the architecture.

[@BGPFilmsUrbanExploring]

This place was really cool nice video

[@TheHulk1934]

great episode!!

[@LeeRielly]

Thank you Neil! - Do you like this kind of place?

[@mariansmith7795]

wow wish I had the money to do it up, its beautiful

[@UXRO]

:O nice. another epic video.

[@LeeRielly]

Thanks a lot matey! - Glad you enjoyed this one, was apprehensive about what people would think of this kinda place! 😀

[@hatesounds702]

awesome video

[@salmanhabib9513]

great video

[@angelaunderwoodyoung3898]

Love it, thanks !

[@mariesmith599]

I think that was a dumbwaiter. If you wanted breakfast in bed you rang a bell and your meal was brought up to you. Also it would have also been used by the maids for laundry. Thats what I have found and seen in various history.

[@KR-sh6rm]

New subscriber here. Really enjoying your videos. Thanks so much for sharing. 😀

[@srolyat]

Very cool! Ty 😉

[@darlacooper6826]

More castles please!

[@synful1969]

this was awesome thanks for video

[@LeeRielly]

Thanks for watching, Patricia! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

[@amazingredkitty3605]

The drone may be a little cumbersome, but it adds a lot to the video. Great job.

[@LeeRielly]

Thanks Dave, I'm glad you appreciate the drone work, I feel that it is a nice element to have in my videos :)

[@ACS402010]

Just stumbled across this video and would like to say, by all means, please do more castle videos. Subbed.

[@LeeRielly]

Thank you! I'm glad you like this sort of thing 😀

[@JOSERIVERA115]

Good Stuff'

[@savannahembertson238]

Hey Lee , I love your videos. Plus , your so handsome and charming!!!

[@LeeRielly]

Why thank you Savannah 😀 I appreciate that very much! 😊

[@elliemartin1002]

I'm pretty sure that is an old hand crank elevator... I used to have one in my barn

[@s.t.d.explorers1529]

Wow i love ur vids. Ur finds are amazing.. Them staircases are beautiful. I can jus imagine how beautiful this would b while it was in use.. would love to get sum locations off u if tht would b ok wit u?

[@sadie_higgins]

damn, this place must have been stunning back in the day.

[@LeeRielly]

I bet! - Those huge windows must have let in some light too, I can imagine this place was a VERY luxurious house for it's time, looking over that wonderful countryside view.

[@sadie_higgins]

Lee Rielly I would love to see you explore more places like this!

[@garbage854]

WOW That is a cool House :)

[@LeeRielly]

It sure is! - Is this type of place something you would like to see in the future?

[@garbage854]

Yeah :)

[@garbage854]

Yes I would like to see more places like this :)

[@SaturdayNightSnackandaMovie]

Nice! Another to binge on tonight! I just hit 200 subs recently as well!

[@LeeRielly]

Cheers buddy! Enjoy the videos :)

[@eileenspink4394]

the Kennedy castle what a shame that someone took the roof off so it can rot shame on them great job in the photography ANOTHER GREAT HOUSE LOST

[@juanramon688]

What happened to the ruins of the castle it still exists? It would be nice if he visited again as he is currently!

[@LeeRielly]

This was only a few months back, I'm pretty sure that it's still in the same condition today :)

[@juanramon688]

Where is the castle?

[@LeeRielly]

Dalquharran Castle, Scotland.

[@KingOfBongoo]

This was awesome, I love old castles and ruins too so it was really interesting imo! Btw is there any chance you'd like to collab in the summer or anytime afterwards? Love your explores so a collab would be sound :)

[@LeeRielly]

Cheers matey! Glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah I'm always up for collabs, hit me up on Instagram/Twitter DMs and we can sort something! 🙌

[@KingOfBongoo]

Just got this message, but Ive followed you on twitter anyway. Ill DM you once my final exams are done, then Ive got a year out, so should have time to arrange something haha!

[@benchkey]

Elevators have been around for thousands of years, but only in the 1800's were they electrified. One should never go to such places alone, and you should have hard hats to deflect any debris that might fall on your head.

[@ashtonrossiter2965]

Could u send me locations for the different places to explore

[@donutcud2267]

They had mansions?!

[@dancharron7098]

many fireplaces it was the source of heat. the only one. as for what it takes to fix a place like this. a vision and money.... so if you got money. I got vision and knowledge. it would a challenge I would love. I also got the guys for the stonework and the glass work. it would be a work done right. with modern hidden heat sources and electricity. and yes that was an elevator. heck they had elevators in the Roman times..... they where manuel and a risk but was available. cogs and wheels....

[@CJUrbex]

hi lee whats the name of this castle? da warren did you say? id love to go see it thanks

[@LeeRielly]

Hey mate, it's Dalquharran Castle

[@CJUrbex]

Lee Rielly nice one lee cheers, love ya vids keep em coming, im running out of locations how do u keep finding em, google lol

[@LeeRielly]

I have good resources and contacts ;) haha, keep going mate!

[@jolovesminnis]

I wish walls could talk!

[@Aamria]

I do have to ask, why are you shocked at the amount of fire places ?? It was common back then to heat a room by a fire place. It is a shame though to see it go to waste. I love old buildings and history like this !!

[@LeeRielly]

It's not like I've not seen a fireplace before, it was the fact that it was pretty much the only thing that remained in the house.

[@darbiansphotography4177]

Thank god ya not called exploring with Lee :)

[@LeeRielly]

I like to be different 😉

[@tarabarringer4106]

I love places like this, to bad she was let go.
