Hidden behind a wall of trees lies an eerie abandoned Scots housing estate once used by the military and their families. Craigiehall near Edinburgh served as a headquarters for the British army up until 2015.
The housing estate near the A90 in South Queensferry, which was built to accommodate troops and their families, has turned into a ghost village after being abandoned by the MOD. It was closed for good in 2019 when Army Headquarters Scotland merged with 51st Infantry Brigade at Forthside Barracks in Stirling.
According to Edinburgh Live, despite security, vandalism has plagued the site with smashed windows and broken fences becoming a common sight. Exposed to the elements, the once-white housing has black and brown patches and paint can be seen pealing from the facades.
