The decaying Poltalloch House - Built in 1853, this once grand Scottish estate fell into ruins in the 1950s when the owners dismantled the roof to avoid paying heavy taxes. Today its walls stand amongst brambles and vines, ravished by the elements as well as nature -- yet it still retains a quiet dignity.
