Abandoned..! But Worth Saving? Do We Need Another Renovation Project? Part 1!

Part One. Join us as we venture into the heart of Scotland’s forgotten past — the derelict Dorenell farmhouse and steading complex at Upper Ardwell. History snippet: The Dorenell site is nestled close to the vast Dorenell Wind Farm, part of the Glendfiddich Estate, whose turbines now gaze over the courtyard where this farmhouse once thrived. While little formal history exists publicly about the buildings, their architecture suggests they were integral to local agricultural life — perhaps home to generations of tenants, shepherds and farmhands who worked the Highland land. Our exploration uncovers weathered stonework, collapsed roofs, and farm equipment scattered as if abandoned in haste. We talk through theories of the building’s past — from humble 18th-century crofters and tenant shepherds to possible connections to nearby Ardwell House and its ancient communities . The farmhouse, quietly hovering between decay and memory, offers up glimpses of hatch doors, empty barns, and a soul‑stirring connection to the people who once called it home. 👉 Why this matters: Discovering Dorenell’s hidden heart reminded us that Scotland’s rural landscape is filled with untold stories — and a simple walk can reveal so much history and emotion.
