As we travelled across the east of Scotland to reach this week's destination – The Glenrothes Whisky Distillery – I spotted this curious junkyard in the middle of nowhere. We zipped past way too quick to stop first time but on the way back to the airport we made a point of stopping, and had a quick snoop around.
It was actually a reconditioning yard for used Volkswagens, but had basically turned into a place of rest of these beloved vehicles. We didn't have much time as we were a tad worried about getting chased off with a pitchfork, but I'm glad we managed to get a few quick shots.
These look so sad! Ace pictures though!

That would've been interesting to see - a bit sad too though!
ReplyDeleteI would've definitely made the effort to stop by as well! I agree though it's a bit sad but sort of heartwarming that all of them are together .. resting :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I'd love an old van but the upkeep is intense!
ReplyDeleteOh Jane, you're so sweet!
ReplyDeleteBit sad but needed to check it out.
ReplyDeleteWell worth stopping for.
ReplyDeleteSame on a Range Rover Defender, but I want one bad.
ReplyDeleteDo it!
ReplyDeleteVery Cool! It would be neat to see what they look like after they get doctored up:)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I kind of like seeing the old Camper vans all rusty like that. I don't know, I think it just appeals to the side of me who is interested in ruins and forgotten things. Anyway, I imagine once fixed up, there are plenty of people who would be willing to buy those vans. We couldn't get enough of the reconditioned one at my friend's wedding. When it appeared, I think I *may* have taken more of the van than my friends....oops.

I know that you know that I live places like this. Places where things come to rest and release themselves to nature. It won't be long before plants start to grow within them and that makes is so deep poetic in my mind.
ReplyDeleteWe've been chased away during exploring once. A very posh man in Sandringham didn't like us :(
Well I had you in mind when we were there, I knew I needed to go and have a look.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are too sweet! Thank you for thinking of me and for taking these pics. Well proud of you. Next stop - that abandoned place near your home?
ReplyDeleteyeah we said this had you written all over it. I did do some more research on that and it turns out it's been knocked down and now it just overgrown, but I think there's more to the story.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, this is a great photo, at least you managed to get a capture before pitchfork got you! lol. You certainly don't see these around as often as you used to. For some reason rusty/old areas and automobiles always makes me want to do a glamourous photo shoot, but then I always change my mind. :)
