I would have thought that there were far better sites to visit than this one.

The state of the site reflects the state of the farmyard below with one of the largest collections of rusting, disused vehicles I have seen outside a scrap yard.

Nonetheless the lady of the farm was happy for me to visit so can't complain too much (and the damage was probably done before her time).

I was brought up at Upper Auchnagorth but was bought about 15 years ago by a
Mr Jackson. I am sure if you asked him he would give you permission to visit
the site. When i was a child there were regular vists made from students of
Aberdeen University.
