Balmore Farm House

After golf in Braemar yesterday, on the way home we went for a walk to Auchtavan, an old remote farm village with wonderful views over Lochnagar. Looking through the old windows of Balmore Farm House was interesting!

Such a fabulous capture of these old textures and rusty tones! It sure must have been an ancient farm house.

Wonder why things are left in old buildings like this. I like all the weathered and aged objects.

What great character and textures! Iam intrigued by the "Cooper's Phenothiazine Worm Drench for Lambs and Ewes." When I do a google search for "Phenothiazine" I get info on its use in anti-psychotic medications. Adding "Cooper's" gets ads for this product, particularly from New Zealand and Australia, and a pdf of the "Florida Cattleman and Livestock Journal, which I don't have time to search the 88 pages for the ad or reference. It was handy, I suppose, if you had any ewes with schizophrenia. You'd get a double benefit -- de-worming and the other.

@mcsiegle I love how much research you've done into this! Thank you! :-)

When I look at such places, I always think about the people who created them. About their hopes and desires.
