Abandoned 2

I love history, especially social history, so I love old ruined buildings like this. There is some mystery as to who owned it but the theory is that it belonged to Charles Tennant (1768-1838) who owned the Darnley Bleach Fields. Charles and his partner, Charles Macintosh, invented a new bleaching powder that revolutionised the bleaching industry. The area that this house occupied was known for its bleach fields, where cloth was laid out in the open to bleach naturally in the sunshine, (sunshine in Scotland!). It is thought that the house was used as offices and potentially accommodation for workers in the bleach fields. I love to imagine who worked/lived here and what their lives would have been like.
