Abandoned House at Dalnamain, Strath Carnaig, Sutherland
Abandoned House at Dalnamain, Strath Carnaig, Sutherland
This house stands by itself, remote from any road on a slope on the north side of the valley of Strath Carnaig, Scottish Highlands. At the time of this photograph it had clearly been abandoned for many years.

In more crowded parts of the world, it would be difficult to imagine just abandoning a house. But with so much land available and the remote geography of the Highlands which make demolition uneconomical, it is not uncommon to find older houses abandoned and left standing as society moves on to more modern and comfortable accommodation.
