    Arrow Imperial Distillery, Morayshire

    This place has been posted many times before, but I'd never been before, so my friend and I set off early this past Saturday morning. Alir147 was originally supposed to be joining us, but he was so desperate for cash that he chose Tesco over exploring



    We arrived at somewhere around 6am (I think). Failing to follow our instructions right from the start, we waded through a small jungle instead of going right past the distillery and walking down the path. After we'd brushed off the managerie we'd acquired in the jungle, we made our way around to the back of the building. Unfortunately the two entrances we'd been told to use have been reinforced and are no longer an option. There's a beam nailed into the wall over the previously loose board on the window, and the hatch in the other section is sealed too.

    This left just the highly undesireable last resort (which I won't mention as I'm lead to believe it's something of a secret?), which eventually got us in.

    Much of it isn't particularly photo-worthy, but there are a few very nice sections. The area underneath the 4 stills was by far my favourite part. The sunlight filtering through the grilled flooring looked beautiful, and gave natural lighting far nicer than any Photoshopping could ever achieve.









    Back up top, the stills themselves are quite impressive too. I'd only ever visited one distillery before, when I was like 7 or something, so this was quite an interesting experience for me.







    Through in the next room, there were some more nice bits and pieces. I have a thing for stairs leading to/from darkness.





    We climbed into the big thing (technical term) in the middle of the room, but like the muppet I am, I slipped and slammed my side against a piece of metal sticking out of the hatch. Still hurts 3 days later.




    Nevermind, it was pretty cool inside.

    Next we found the bat room, along with ZombieSazza's note.




    That was about it for the inside, so we headed back out. On the way, my friend Mole hit his head off a spikey piece of concrete. Looked very painful. Alir147 has told me he hurt himself in there too. Injuries all round.

    Good work, you've captured some nice images

    It's a cracking place
