Cambusnethan Priory, Scotland



Canon EOS 550D, ISO 100, Aperture priority set at F22, 3 exposures.

This is a derelict Gothic mansion that can be found in Cambusnethan in Scotland. When i was walking down to this building i became a bit nervous the weather was bright but the clouds were turning dark and i knew rain would be saying hello very soon, so i walked around the building and chose my favorite views of it. I could not get into the building as the front entrance had been bricked up and other ways of getting in were a bit tricky so i chose to stay safe. I believe the building was built in 1819 and it was once a hotel which had medieval nights, more information can be found on the internet. It would cost a lot of money to bring this property back to life but i believe it would be money well spent rather than let it one day disappear. So if they are any wealthy Arabs or Russians out there with some loose change to play with then buy it and have some fun.

I visited this area as i had driven past it on the motorway on many occasions and thought i would try some shots out. I used Photomatix to generate an HDR image and edited further using Picasa.

Rusty Lock (2)

Canon EOS 550D, 18-55mm lens, ISO 100, Aperture priority set at f22, 3 exposures.


1st January 2011
This is a follow on from yesterdays post, it is a closer view of the rusted metal lock, it isn't a very good shot but it does show what happens to metal when it has been left for many years exposed to the weather, it would be great if anyone should happen to view the previous 5 posts and possibly have some more information of the history of this old metal constructed workshop like when it was built what it was used for etc. It can be found near Stepps in North Lanarkshire, Scotland at the side of  the A80 on Cumbernauld Road. If anyone does have any information make a comment or drop me an email at ml6@live.co.uk.
