A bathroom in one of the apartments where the bath is filled with ceiling tiles GLASGOW, SCOTLAND WELCOME TO THE abandoned housing estate that is dubbed ?Scotland's Chernobyl? and is thought to still have four tenants in residence despite government plans to demolish it this year. Like the ghost town, images show the derelict buildings covered in graffiti and litter with windows smashed in and some fire damage in the properties. These images were captured in Clune Park, Glasgow, Scotland by urban explorer Kyle Urbex who had to visit the property with such a prolific history.

They soon discovered an arm sticking up from the floorboards, the body in question was later identified in the newspaper as Charlene Lever who died at another location.
