Lathallan House - Abandoned Mansion Scotland

--~--
On this explore we head to Lathallan House! It is supposedly a mansion and it is big but I'm not quite sure a ”mansion” is quite the right description!
It was quite an interesting explore especially when we discovered a basement scaling the full length of the house!!
There was a lot of items we found that pointed towards a previous resident, with many shipping crates scattered about it was once owned by a Johan Theodor Salvesen who set up a business as a shipbroker at the nearby Grangemouth.
Here's some other information I found online:
The abandoned house of Lathallan is a B-listed baronial country house near Polmont in Falkirk which was built in 1826. It was also known in some places as Lawrence Park. It was designed by the renowned architect Thomas Hamilton with much of the detailing being lost due to vandalism and it’s general deterioration leaving it close to an empty shell. There was a major fire in 2006 that some say was due to a squatter that had been living inside. It once was home to the successful Salvesen shipping family.

Windy Afternoon at Glasgow Central Train Station, WCML | 23/10/18
This video is property of Richard Chalklin
2160p 4K HD!
The planned station of the day, Glasgow Central. Great to see various operators such as Virgin Trains, Scotrail and Cross Country.
Glasgow Central info:
Glasgow Central (Scottish Gaelic: Glaschu Mheadhain, Scots: Glesga Central, also known simply as Central) is the major mainline rail terminus in Glasgow, Scotland. The station was opened by the Caledonian Railway on 1 August 1879 and is one of nineteen managed by Network Rail. It is the northern terminus of the West Coast Main Line (397 miles (640 km) north of London Euston), and for inter-city services between Glasgow and England. The other main city-centre railway station in Glasgow is Glasgow Queen Street.
With over 32 million passengers in 2016–17, Glasgow Central is the twelfth-busiest railway station in Britain, and the busiest in Scotland. According to Network Rail, over 38 million people use it annually, 80% of whom are passengers. The station is protected as a category A listed building.
In Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations by Simon Jenkins, the station was one of only ten to be awarded five stars. In 2017 the station received a customer satisfaction score 95.2%, the highest in the UK.
Original station:
The original station, opened on 1 August 1879 on the north bank of the River Clyde, had eight platforms and was linked to Bridge Street station by a railway bridge over Argyle Street and a four-track railway bridge, built by Sir William Arrol, which crossed the Clyde to the south. The station was built over the site of Grahamston village, whose central street (Alston Street) was demolished to make way for the station platform.
The station was soon congested. In 1890, a temporary solution of widening the bridge over Argyle Street and inserting a ninth platform on Argyle Street bridge was completed. It was also initially intended to increase Bridge Street station to eight through lines and to increase Central station to 13 platforms.
Low-level station:
The low-level platforms were originally a two island separate station, and were added to serve the underground Glasgow Central Railway, authorised on 10 August 1888 and opened on 10 August 1896. The Glasgow Central Railway was taken over by the Caledonian Railway in 1890. Services ran from Maryhill Central and from the Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway in the west through to Rutherglen and via Tollcross through to Carmyle, Newton, and other Caledonian Railway destinations to the east of Glasgow. Other stations include Cambuslang & Motherwell.
Services:
As of 2016, Glasgow Central is served by six train-operating companies.
CrossCountry:
Operates a two-hourly service on the CrossCountry route using the East Coast Main Line to Birmingham New Street via Leeds and onwards to destinations such as Bristol Temple Meads, Exeter St Davids, Plymouth & Penzance as an extension to its services from Edinburgh Waverley.
Abellio ScotRail:
Operates services to Scottish destinations including Ayr (for a bus connection to the Stena Line ferry from Cairnryan to Belfast), Troon, Kilmarnock, East Kilbride, Gourock, Neilston, Stranraer, Largs and Lanark.
There are also services to Carlisle (via Kilmarnock) and Newcastle in England. During the closure of Glasgow Queen Street High Level Station, services to Inverness/Aberdeen via Dundee and Perth were diverted to Glasgow Central.
TransPennine Express:
Operates a two-hourly service to Manchester Airport via Manchester Piccadilly, Preston and the West Coast Main Line.[38] One train per day on Sundays only operates to Manchester Victoria
Virgin Trains:
Operates an hourly service to London Euston directly, and a two-hourly service to London Euston via Birmingham New Street, using Super Voyagers and Pendolinos via the West Coast Main Line. They also operate services to/from Birmingham New Street and Crewe.
London North Eastern Railway
Operates one train per day (except Sundays) to London King's Cross via Edinburgh Waverley, Newcastle and York[39]
Caledonian Sleeper:
Operates one sleeper service per night, Sunday to Friday, to London Euston.
A taxi rank is to the north of the station, while buses operate from the adjacent streets. St Enoch and Buchanan Street Subway stations are within a few minutes' walk.
SPT operates a bus service to Glasgow Queen Street and Buchanan bus station; this bus is numbered 398
Station ticket facilities:
There are three ticket halls. Two are operated by ScotRail (main concourse and Argyle Street entrance) and the third is a travel centre run by Virgin Trains at the Gordon Street entrance. Virgin Trains also operate a dedicated customer lounge next to Platform 1 and a First Class lounge.
Railway electrification:
Overhead Power Lines began to appear on the high-level platforms early 1960s under British Railways. Firstly came 6.25 kV AC overhead power lines from the Cathcart Circle Line electrification scheme.

Old Photographs Royal Scots Railway Disaster Gretna Green Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of the Royal Scots railway disaster by Gretna Green. The Quintinshill rail disaster was a multi-train rail crash which occurred on 22 May 1915 outside the Quintinshill signal box near Gretna Green in Dumfriesshire. It resulted in the deaths of over 200 people, and is the worst rail disaster in British history. Quintinshill box controlled two passing loops, one on each side of the double track Caledonian Main Line linking Glasgow and Carlisle, now part of the West Coast Main Line. At the time of the accident, both passing loops were occupied with goods trains and a northbound local passenger train was standing on the southbound main line. The first collision occurred when a south bound troop train travelling from Larbert to Liverpool collided with the stationary local train. A minute later the wreckage was struck by a northbound sleeping car express train travelling from London Euston to Glasgow Central. Gas from the Pintsch gas lighting system of the old wooden carriages of the troop train ignited, starting a fire which soon engulfed all five trains. Only half the soldiers on the troop train survived. Those killed were mainly Territorial soldiers from the 1/7th Leith Battalion, the Royal Scots heading for Gallipoli. The precise death toll was never established with confidence as some bodies were never recovered, having been wholly consumed by the fire, while the roll list of the regiment was also destroyed in the fire. The official death toll was 227, 215 soldiers, 9 passengers and three railway employees, but the army later reduced their 215 by one. Not counted in the 227 were four victims thought to be children, but which were never claimed or identified. The soldiers were buried together in a mass grave in Edinburgh's Rosebank Cemetery, where an annual remembrance is held. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
Trains at Glasgow Queen Street, 18th August 2018
My first veging session at Queen Street since December and also since ScotRail introduced the 365s and 385s into service on the network and also the since the E-G went to a fully electric service! I spend about an hour and a half here and includes the usual trains formed of Class 156s, 158s, 170s, 365s, 380s and 385s, Queen Street i must say has got much better in terms of variety since the wires came with 3 different electric trains in addition do the 3 diesel trains too so was a very good session, I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching it :)
