Just to the east of Sorn in Ayrshire, Scotland, lies like a ghost town, home to over a dozen derelict buildings being slowly swallowed up by nature.

The town, which goes by the name of Woolmill Place, features a group of sixteen homes, most of which are abandoned after work on the buildings came to a standstill.The group of 16 homes were once worth around £300,000 but the few residents who moved in say over a decade after the project began they are still ‘outraged’ that it was never completed.

The site was originally built by a building company which went bust following the 2007 credit crunch.Local residents say the company have done nothing since – leaving the homes now slowly falling apart with derelict interiors.One woman who lives in one of the homes said: “Nothing has been done for years. We were promised that it would be a great community.The houses overlook the River Ayr and Dalgain Farm.
