While most shopping centres across Scotland today will be swarmed with Boxing Day shoppers looking to nab a bargain, one in West Lothian is completely deserted.
Five Sisters Freeport Shopping Village opened in 1996, but it now lies empty 26 years later. The shopping centre once included more than 40 shops and was claimed to be the country's premier outlet for designer clothes.
As reported by Edinburgh Live, the 50,000 square feet destination brought more than 1 million shoppers to its doors in the first year it opened. At that time, visitors were told that the premises would be extended to include additional leisure facilities such as a snow centre and a golf course.
