Hi Alec, I passed by here a few days ago. I saw the photos at the gate and wondered what they were. Now I know. Lol. Great to see the inside as I’ve only ever walked round the outside. Thank you for taking us inside. It was an awesome explore. Loved it. Well done and great photos as always.

[@ExploringwithAlec]

Thanks 😊

[@charliepark1122]

I used to drink in the dungeon back in the 80s had many a great night in there, it was a dungeon in Jacobite times the prisoners were held there then taken over to the hill at the other side of the stream where they were hanged.

[@clickr73]

I love how cool This pub looks inside! All stone, fireplaces in the walls, a booth in a cutout in the wall, old school furniture, sux it’s completely worthless with all the asbestos contamination. I still think if someone could invest on cleaning up the place it still would make an awesome château pub in the middle of nowhere!

[@kimcarriveau8266]

The photos were beautiful.Thanks for showing us!!!!

[@charlottebarbour1944]

I really enjoyed this one. Looked like it had been abandoned for at least 30 yrs so much of a mess. I always think of my grandfather-in-law when I see you in the countryside of Scotland. He was born in a little village northwest of Edinburgh.

[@davidlee6720]

one of the best explores for an atmosphere of what it must have been like in an old medieval castle , cannot understand very well your broad Scottish accents but you are brave adventurers like a lot of your fellow compatriots who we have always appreciated in times of war and extreme challenges.. Needs renovating - too amazing to lose.

My knees have gone wobbly looking at him walk across the corrugated roof.

[@dezman56ford]

Great post man, I'm amazed by the amount of stuff that was simply left to fade into obscurity, would love to know the history of the place and why it was left to deteriorate in such a manner, the pub must of been iconic in its day.

[@elizabethwatson5236]

Went here in the 70's nearly every weekend. Had a great disco and restaurant.

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

Wow there's a bunch of gold pans laying on the floor. For gold panning. The guy is a treasure hunter like me. :D Now find me a set of bagpipes, I play those too. There has to be a set in one of these places.

[@laracroft7555]

Haha.keep hunting I'm sure you will come across your bagpipes. Happy Hunting..I like a of skip diving and wombling..

[@Carol......]

Looked like a great wee place for a night out. Surprised to read people in comments saying they went here often as it looks like it's in the middle of nowhere !! Loved the inside, those stone cellars must've been beautiful at night all lit up with the bar buzzing and people enjoying themselves. Shame all life is now gone. Cheers Alec 👍

[@daffyduk77]

another phenomenal explore thanks! Atmospheric dungeon/bar ! Place a bit remote for passing trade, but what a location !

[@michaelobrien9825]

A word of warning ⚠️ do not ever step on asbestos roofing sheeting the particles will go everywhere including your lungs I worked on roofs, however I'm quite amazed by some of your explores and how you find them.

[@michaelobrien9825]

The problem with asbestos sheeting is, as it gets older it becomes more brittle hence if you stand you go through it extremely quick.

Brilliant video. Cant get over the amount of stuff left in it. The Dungeons was popular back in the day. It's a shame it's like this now.

[@johnwhite6041]

Enjoyed the video, I used to go here with mates when I was a teenager. It was the 'in' place. My wife posted a video last year and got threatened verbally online by the owners! I'm pretty sure this is the reason for all the barbed wire at the gate 🤣

[@laracroft7555]

Now I know why.. one of the comments made me a little nervous.. Glad you had experienced this place when open...it has a cool energy , can believe it was trendy

Nice one buddy but can you edit the name out of this comment thanks

[@magesalmanac6424]

“Who are these characters?” 🤣 indeed. god that roof sounded sketchy. Looks like it was a nice cozy spot at one point in time.

[@debbiepilarsky9535]

Little sketchy at times pub was out in middle nowhere in its glory days sure it was fantastic country side views where beautiful! Alex great explore 👌 💯🇺🇸

[@raeannecoon7951]

Absolutely loved it ❤️ I can only imagine some crazy stories if the walls could talk ..😉😃👍

[@yrly59e]

Looks like the house portion was maybe abandoned 15 years ago based on that plasma TV in one room. Think a lot of these places are passed down to kids and kids of kids. Eventually upkeep, profits, desire, expenses don’t work out. The roof of the pub kitchen is sketchy, looks like they tied some 2x4s between an existing structure like a garage or horse barn and the house

[@laracroft7555]

Yeah so frustrating... not having the funds to make it re livable or even to start a new build .. would be nice too rebuild from the pub up .. keeping that amazing stone masonry. I have the same problem in another country.. think there's more chance of finding the right helping hands In the UK... you know ' .. like payment for labour by offering A share of the Land.. Or profits .. like from a kind caring.carehome .

I used visit to drink in the Dungeon Inn, Glendevon near Dollar about 80s between 82s had many a great party night in there as near the holiday park caravan as well… That is great memories

[@spacepygmy4443]

Used to go there with family when kid, went back to check 2 years ago , sure someone was squatting close by.

[@ianmcmillan7931]

Cracking explore Alec, I'm sure the bar will had its fair share of pissheads back in its day 👍

[@brentoutashape9141]

Based on the Bacardi Breezers bottles, I'd say this place last serviced customers between 1995 and 2000. Neat find. That bottle of Chartruese took to my drinking days in New Orleans in the 90's. I do kind of wonder what the original purpose of the building was. Surely not a pub?

Totally agree Sandra.. Was he a millionaire.must have had some money though if he had other properties.. just wanted to spend his money else were.. let's see maybe when he pop's his Clogs ... and leaves that cash his got stashed away.. the beneficiaries will use it to restore the building How cool would that be to live in the dungeon.. cozy

Edit: commented before watching the whole thing! Whoever lived here must have been a family, we’re they in an accident? It’s chockablock with a full life, no one would leave their Smash Hits Magazines behind if given a choice 😂. Laughing but it’s a sad one. 😔
