I Love Abandoned Places

The offerings in Falkirk

Callendar Park is the former grounds of the Forbes family who lived at Callendar House, now accessible to the public. In the grounds are several disused buildings from the time the Forbes family lived there

The Factor's House, Factor being a Scottish word for an agent, who would have represented the Forbes on certain matters

The stables


Forbes Mausoleum, sighted in the woods, built for the wife of William Forbes


Moving away from Callendar Park there are other abandoned places to be found

St John's Church of Scotland


One of a few empty industrial buildings near the canal


Rosebank Distillery, after 20 years of dereliction it is now being renovated
