Most of a vintage bus, isle of Hoy, Orkney

A lot of intact glass. But the bottom half seems to be missing. I'm guessing 1960s vintage?

Does anyone know what it is? Perhaps it makes bales of hay

Abandoned building in the middle of a field of cows, Hoy, Orkney

Short walls were built to stop the cows getting inside and injuring themselves. But the strong winds are slowly stripping the roof off.

Abandoned pier on the isle of Hoy, Orkney

Much to frightened to step out on that death trap. Pretty much this whole bay used to be a naval base.

Naval base tunnel on the isle of Hoy, Orkney

There were a series of these short tunnels built into an embankment around the edge of the old naval base. My guess is that the embankment was built around explosive storage sheds and was intended to limit the damage, but I've no idea. These short tunnels didn't cut through the embankment but had short right-angled corridors at each end. Perhaps this was intended to manage any blast? Happy to learn more in the comments.

Collapsed house, isle of Hoy, Orkney

Nothing was left of the house other than the chimney, a pile of wood and the bathroom fittings - they were still attached to the plumbing and in pretty good shape!

Abandoned bus, isle of Hoy, Orkney

The engine and most of the front was missing. Inside, someone had set up two beds balanced on the gaps between seats.
