Achnagairn abandoned houses

These houses were built a couple of years ago, in a former walled garden in the Achnagairn Estate on the outskirts of Kirkhill. They were advertised as 5 or 6 bedroom luxury homes, priced from £485,000. It appears no one has lived in them since then, and the developer has gone into administration. Some of the garages look unfinished and some houses have metal shutters over the doors and windows, while the gardens are becoming overgrown.
