POLITICIANS ABANDONED MILLIONAIRE MANSION NO ONE CAN AFFORD TO SAVE | GLAISNOCK HOUSE

[@AdamMark]

Hey guys, if you enjoy this explore let me know by hitting the thumbs up. I love the history of the older buildings. Thanks for watching

[@patrickblock2477]

Retrieving video please mate!

[@steve210sa]

Did you ever get your drone out of the tree??

[@barbarasmith8404]

U always go to such interesting place!!! I love this one, it is just criminal this place is decaying snd just falling in. We all need some time alone. Keep up the good work!!!! North Carolina USA

[@claysmith1258]

Mindboggling how £6 million wasn't enough to refurbish this stunning mansion. Now it's left to decay, quite sad. Great explore Adam.

[@cindyjoyner1426]

Such a beautiful grand property!!!! Any vibes ? It must have so many stories to tell. So lovely and peaceful… hop you retrieve your drone! 🥰

[@1701enter]

I was a boarding school pupil here for four years and was in the last year to complete the full four years. I can't tell you how different it is now to then. The main hall had a huge lion's head fireplace in oak and marble (I know this because I accidentally pulled the "head" off the fireplace. the fire was big enough the heat the whole huge hallway. I was told as a super innocent ten-year-old that a secret passage was behind the fireplace) the floors were polished every day and were a herringbone parquet marvel. I lived on the top floor, the dorms were Luger, Nith, and Doon. The headmaster's study was to the right of the main access and was actually a hallway blocked off after the orangery was demolished in the earlier part of the century . Outside is just as devastating to see Mr Walter Smith was the gardener and his care of the lawns was immaculate all of the upper terraces were kept bowling green smooth. the lower terrace was for a polo green and the meadow below was a full-size football pitch. crossing the bridge took you to first the stable block and if you follow the road down the hill to a one-acre enclosed garden . we as boys tended all the gardens as part of our studies (it was intended to be a feeder institution to an agricultural university ) inside the enclosure was along with one side commercial size greenhouses we use to grow award-winning chrysanthemums, tomatoes the taste of which I can still remember incredible fruit and veg all set in an authentic Victorian garden. So many memories from fifty-odd years ago...I write this to offer a little history and context to this building later in life. the lift must have been put in after I left all the "safety doors" are not in my memory bank

[@unalunar7362]

That's amazing Jim. Must be so strange to see it like this now. He mentioned someone called Campbell buying the house too.

This must be so upsetting for you to see it like this now what a shame it sounds like it was stunning xx

Well done Adam. When you are on your own your explores are so much better. Your creative self comes out. You have a remarkable eye for composition and still shots.

[@Indo49]

Dear Adam, stunning report of Glaisnock House. Quite a pity to see decaying it. We, my partner and I, live in a old Dutch farm that goes back until at least the 16th century. Apart from this we are both very interested in your reports/uploads. But this one is beating them all. So sorry to see the deriliction of once a real beauty of premises.

[@AdamMark]

Glad you enjoyed it

Absolute gold this channel is, subscribed obviously 😁 Nice work on the van idea as well, always wanted to do that myself!

what a beautiful building. I would love to have been there when it was newly built and decorated. Don't fall off the ladder trying to get your drone. There is always another drone, but there is only one you.

Aww she would have been a beautiful, grand mansion in her hey day. As you say she's stood the test of time, today's building's seem to be thrown up and will soon be gone. Hope you had a chilled time and cleared your mind. Looking forward to the next one Adam.

Hi Adam this is truly would have been amazing building back in it's time very sad to see such a abandoned building decaying away but still some nice architecture still to see,if it's got to be demolished let's hope they keep the outside walls would be a shame to loose all the building thanks for sharing

Mark buddy...my hubby used to be a tree guy ...make yourself a throwball or buy 1 (I think its just sand or beans in a small sac)..attach a string or line to the throwball & keep it with your drone...once you get the hang of it you can toss it over a limb & pull limb with drone stuck in it...you get the idea...thank you for your research & curiosity...you & Lisa make a great team just like you & Dale...love the commentary🗿👁🐿😁🤣👽🤗

The house was bought by a Chinese man in 2013 with the intention of turning it into a Chinese language school, however, he died of a brain tumour in 2015 and his family have been wrangling over the will ever since so the house has been left to rot.

[@lornahardin4563]

So sad.

[@sammyjo8109]

Thank you for the additional information. So many homes in Europe where the owner passed and things are tied up in court leaving the home to sit and decays it appears. I wonder why it takes so very many years to settle an estate? very sad.

I hate to see grand old places get into such state , but I’m like you just love these old buildings.

Seeing these old houses makes me really sad. It took three years to build? You'd think someone somewhere would save it.

[@SnowPink90]

@@PIckledeggilkley That’s how I feel. It’s so crazy to think that nobody, absolutely nobody can do the renos. With all the money that the Queen has you’d think she’d assign someone to look after places like these.

[@stephenstephen2924]

Stayed there in the early 90s for a week cost me three quid for the whole week best holiday I've ever been on. Dry slop skiing also normal skiing, gorge walking, abseiling, orienteering. Went with Woodlands school that's why it cost me three quid. It's a crime to state of the building now I can remember it in its gory. If I had won that 183 million euro millions last week I would have bought it and lived in it like bram stokers Dracula

Hi Adam this mansion needs to be saved it's a pity it has been left if its a listed building it should be looked into well done for showing us

[@katlhp957]

Stunning mansion... I believe even in the state of decay these mansions blow anything I've ever imagined before away.

[@DavidMartin-gx8yl]

Great wonder round Adam. I have also been to this one with my son. It’s such a shame that these buildings are just rotting away. Just one word of WARNING ⚠️ to anyone else who’s thinking of going to this one. We where blocked on the way out by a car at the entrance just as you come off the road. The car belonged to the man that stays in the gatehouse just as you come in. My son got upset and worried about what he was going to do. I had to confront him and asked him to let us by he was quiet angry but after chatting for a short while. He let us passed he explained that he is frustrated and fed up of people coming round to see the house.

Loved watching your explore. I'm lucky enough to live about 3 miles from Glaisnook House and often walk around the grounds. So sad to see it in such disrepair. The flat roof was actually a glass conservatory. I wish I could attach a photo of how it looked. The house was bought by a Chinese gentleman who was going to make it into a cookery school. Sadly he died, and no-one knows who he left the house to, hence there being no works done on it.

[@Parmesana]

gee..that place is MASSIVE. It obviously had been redone(probably in the 1950s) The entrance stairs are for the times when women had the large skirted dresses..The steps are wider and not as high from one step to another(making it easier for the ladies ) The corridors and doorways looked a bit narrow for such a place. I stayed a week in Genoa Italy in the apartment of someone that lived in a huge house/castle. His whole apartment/5+ rooms/was redone from ONE bedroom of that floor in the 'house' (4 on each floor like that). It had a small elevator..but also had the original marble stairs with statues in niches.(it was not used except for furniture movers..so was not lit) was amazing

[@cathyhatfield5340]
