Huge abandoned cannabis factory found inside Scottish pub by urban explorer

An abandoned cannabis farm has been found in a pub by an “urban explorer”.

Images of the remnants of the hash factory were shared online by a group which scours derelict buildings around Scotland – but the location is top secret.

Pictures showed huge piles of dried-up plant cuttings in the attic as well as rows of bags of soil.

In the bar area, it looks like revellers have left in a hurry, with tables still laid out with drinks and cutlery and an untouched wedding cake on display.

Half-empty bottles of spirits remain on the bar alongside unopened packets of crisps, while boxes of fertiliser are stacked in the back.

The explorer posted images of the “abandoned weed pub” to a social media group with more than 13,000 members.

They wrote: “When drink runs out, let’s get high.”

The images prompted a flurry of inquiries about the location.

But the explorer responded: “Sorry, don’t give out locations.”

Urban exploring has become massive with more and more bloggers posting on YouTube and social media.

But the pastime has prompted debates on the legalities of accessing private property and appeals from emergency services over safety issues.

Explorers rarely post locations, saying they are protecting the sites from vandals, but many are instantly recognisable.

In May, we revealed the same group shared eerie images from inside the wreckage of Jimmy Savile’s Glencoe home.

The property has since been bought and the new owner launched a consultation on what should happen to the site.

Many have called for it to be demolished.
