Some urbex/rurex photography from a derelict Admiralty facility near to Arrochar, Scotland.
This building was part of the Loch Long Torpedo Range which operated on the loch from 1912 to 1986. Testing peaked during World War II with some 12,000 torpedoes being fired down the loch. The building now is completely unsafe, naturally, and that manhole opening you can see centre frame is an open 15ft drop to the loch below surrounded by jagged rough concrete pillars. You definitely have to watch your step!
This is a previously unpublished shot from March 2020 just after I had decided to begin shielding from infectious people, some four weeks before official guidance. I thought a 'torpedo range' shot would be timely given that the Russian Navy is about to conduct a military exercise in the Irish Sea directly above our massive swathe of Trans-Atlantic undersea communication cables. What could possibly go wrong?
Enjoy!
