unbroken Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 A friend of mine has asked me to put a post up on here to see if I can find her a location in Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire for a photoshoot.She is looking for any old buildings that are either derelict or look a little scary. Anywhere in the Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire region would be considered.And any help is greatly appreciated.Thank you.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 UK Urban Exploration ForumsSearch for Aberdeen. Tons of derelict places.Also try the old Barracudas bowling alley in BOD. It's been burnt out and there's an open door round the back if you jump over a fence. Really creepy, it's all burnt and black but there's still kids toys, bowling pins etc. lying around.Archived Report - "One" 10 Pin Bowling Alley, Aberdeen.

Guest Gladstone Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Slains Castle in Cruden Bay. Not sure how much of it is left - but with the right weather, it's pretty scary...There used to be an old mental home at Kingseat - I think it may still be there. Near Newmachar - there's a new development at Kingseat with loads of houses, but I think the mental home is still there - just over the hill. No idea if it's possible to get into it, but it looks like something out of a horror movie from the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 2010 - UK Urban Exploration ForumsThere's a 'cool1' on those forums as well Great site mind. Makes me wish I had a car so I could get to some of these places. I wouldn't take photos though, I'd just write poncey poems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I've been to a few of them, but I generally pussy out of going inside if:A) There's no obvious open door and I don't want to climbB) There's evidence of junkies using the buildingC) The building is unsafe and I'm worried about bits of roof falling on me and no-one knowing where I am.It's really interesting having a snoop around and I love finding old things that people have left lying around. I've got a really weird interest in derelict buildings. The bowling place is cool, I did jump a few fences to get in there, and I went early on a Sunday morning because apparently there's a load of neds use it as some sort of hangout.

Benji Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Aye Slains Castle is a sight and a half. I went there last year and got the shivers just looking at it. Good shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I went creepy location scouting around this time last year and came across an odd old building in Seaton Park looking out onto Tillydrone Road. I have no idea what it is, but it's all boarded up and could maybe be good..?Sorry in advance for crappy quality...(Also apologies for being really thick if it's obvious what this is.)

unbroken Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 as far as I'm aware, they are still trying to find a suitable location. Need places with easy access away from people who would wander what they are doing.Thanks for all your help though guys, I'm sure its really appreciated.

March 2010 - UK Urban Exploration ForumsBloody hell. I know one of the old directors of that place - that would bring tears to his eyes, I'm sure. It was one of my haunts back in the days of Barracudas being mentioned non-stop in Northsound, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Oh, you're still alive then, Cloud. Are you back for good or just visiting to remenisce about Barracudas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
