This is the fascinating UK village which was abandoned by residents 50 years ago in favour of 'modern life'.
The deserted Scots village of Gearrannan Blackhouse, which sits on the Isle of Lewis, is a coastal village situated in a secluded bay overlooking the wild Atlantic ocean.
The village, which was built in the 1800s, was occupied right up until the 1970s when the population moved to more modern housing. However, the old houses were declared a conservation area shortly after and have been lovingly preserved.
