taken 18 years ago, near to Addiewell, West Lothian, Scotland

Freeport and the Five Sisters
Freeport and the Five Sisters
Carpark of the Freeport Leisure Village. A derelict shopping centre in the middle of nowhere, not even near a main road. A look around the web finds a nasty flash infested corporate website boasting of investment opportunities - the reality is a scene from Scooby Doo, an empty theme park cum shopping centre, bristling with cameras. Will I get the knock on the door for this one? The Five Sisters is a well known landmark shale bing from the oil boom years.

Still standing, still empty, Freeport is very securely fenced off and appears to be in good condition. Whether or not the jannie got away with it, or fell foul of meddling kids is unknown.
