Drone shots show abandoned West Lothian shopping centre that went to ruin

An abandoned West Lothian shopping centre has been explored from above by a drone expert, shining a new light on the former designer village.

The Freeport Shopping Village and Leisure Park, near Five Sisters Zoo, opened its doors in September 1996, promising to be Scotland's number-one place for the biggest brands.

There were over 40 stores and cafes as well as a host of leisure attractions at the time of its unveiling. Plans were drawn up in 1997 to expand the retail space to add an indoor snow sports centre and a golf course.
