Abandoned Farm House With So Much Stuff Left Behind - SCOTLAND

What a great explore this one was so much old stuff left behind, it even had an old Datsun in the garage, this has to be one of my best explores in a long time. If you were wondering why the cops showed up, they were actually looking for a missing person and heard us inside.

This is where my Mother worked in service 1930s I also installed the community alarm in here for the residents Elisabeth was a very nice person she worked in nursing

[@viviennejohnston1046]

This house 🏠 belonged to the Robertsons - James (died 2016) and Elizabeth (died 2022). Elizabeth's funeral was in May. It really needs to be secured. Only hoping that someone was checking regularly on Elizabeth before she apparently wound up in a care home. The house was once a house for people in service, which explains the bells to ring for servants to attend. Sad how much of a state a place can get into. 😪

[@lesterjohnston8888]

Well thank you for your information sad as always for them concerd

[@trilbywilby7826]

Was there no family, were there no friends to help the poor old folks dispose of their assets and secure the home? So sad to see wedding photos, greeting cards, even coins left behind. Tragic that someone should be so alone at the end of life.

Great vid and explore.. a sadness for all those belongings of people.. makes you wonder how its left like that.. Thanks for yr respectful filming..👍

[@toddrouch7526]

A very cool explore, and now I see where the baby grand came from. It was odd, that you could actually see how the old resident or resident's health declined as they eventually quit going into, and using parts of the house. The further up and away from the kitchen, the worse the condition of the house got. It's a good thing y'all had your respirators, especially with all of that white and black mold everywhere. It's also a good thing y'all weren't missing, lol hahahaha 😂🤣😂🤣!! What a shame that old Datsun was left to rot, especially with such low mileage, those were great dependable, efficient cars in their day and even today.

[@split_pin]

That explore was jam packed, good stuff chaps. Loving the jokes on this one!. The Datsun 120Y is worth quite a bit of money now , looks saveable. Last on the road in March 1990, local registration mark and looks to maybe be one owner.

At 28.17 it is an embroidery frame. It stretches the material, making it easier to embroider, or cross stitch. Great video. The owners must have been quite well to do, at one time.

[@paulne9]

The thing in the cupboard you thought was possibly a lamp was an old soda syphon, you would take to the shop to get refilled, and the frame was for stretching tapestry cloth to make it easier to to do your tapestry's on. Such a shame to see a house just left to rot as in a beautiful place. Thanks again for another great explore..

[@cherryred1732]

That was a excellent explore. And just for interest. That wooden bell set on wall near stairs would have been from a very early fitted gpo telephone around 1920-30's . And quite possible a brass or bakerlite candle stick telephone instrument. Long gone now. But the bells servived .as screwed to wall. very well done youtube video indeed.

Brilliant explore Alec, loved every minute, *so* much to see, cheers 🍻 👏 🙂

[@sandracairney6007]

This is what our stuff we are so jealous and greedy with ultimately becomes, someone else's or chucked in a dump. All that matters is the spirt by which we live. Peace x guaranteed the old person doesn't are about this anymore anyway, this is why I'm not materialistic and only care about love.

6:30 like the washbasin, has a weir overflow like a Belfast sink. The grate is hinged along with the plug chain hoop. 6:50 (paused it): can see a 'taft' joint in the waste pipe. when using lead pipe this is quicker than performing a 'rolled' wiped joint these still use a wooden turnpin; moleskin cloth; solder. etc.. waste outlet (plughole) has a brass nut & liner which is 'tinned' prior, connected to it-soldered to the Lead P'trap. 19:38 That looks like a siphonic toilet. The turquoise bath and basin look about 1950/60's

[@susiegray6586]

An awesome explore I love these old houses and you guys do a great job at narrating them. The item that you thought might be for a painting that was actually a loom that you would put a piece of cloth in it roll it up tight and you could do needlepoint on it or quilting.

[@lisawilliams3056]

Watched it all now. I kept wanting to give it a good clear out and renovate it. Obviously a very nice house at one point. If someone, somewhere owns it, they ought to either board it up securely or get it cleared out before vandals, burglars etc get in.

The fireplace in the bathroom was probably because it was originally a bedroom, n it's had a bath ,sink n stuff put in later!, as these old houses probably originally had a tin bath n kamodes or chamber pots,n maybe an outside toilet!, My father n his siblings grew up in a similar property!.. Great explore guys, especially the Rossers at the end!, lmao!😁🤣✌

[@colmcoleman6421]

great find alec, i know some houses have fireplaces in the bedroom but a fireplace in the bathroom omg, oh and that doorbell you found upstaris it could have been installed upstairs on the landing as it is such a big house the people may not have heard the doorbell downstairs if someone called if they where upstairs just a guess

Hey Alec. Lovely old house. So annoying it's been trashed. Jerk vandals. I'll take the sewing machines. So much left behind. A true time capsule here. A really nice staircase too.

He told me it's been around the world with him. (He's from England) Was the newspaper one of you picked up and filmed to see the date, from February 1958? I was born that month. At 48:03, there's a dinner plate on the floor below the open door of the dryer/washing machine. I have one exactly the same. I bought it at a second-hand shop in Queensland. Incredible!

According to the book on the table someone was living in this house in 1977. The The Sony headphones from the box on the floor near the 4th fire extinguisher were made in the 70's. So why are there Rations Books that were discontinued in no later than 1954 on the coffee table? And flat screen tv's didn't come out until 1997 but there's one in the 'living room'. Why is there a pewter teapot on a blanket on a chair in the same room? A television that wasn't even created or available until 1997 in a house that it is claimed was abandoned in the 70's. It looks like clickbait, so it probably is.

See all the little people working in the radio broke their way out thru a hole (amazing what you can still convince kids about today). Now that bathroom had to have been a bedroom in a past life. Those pictures are not negatives there slides you put them in a magic lantern and it projects them onto a screen/wall. The thing is a frame for supporting the sampler/picture that's been woven. The poor old stuffed animals obviously attended weight watchers. Car March 1977 1171cc I was 10 then now that's scary. Thanks that was what do they call it in the US oh yea awesome.
