Abandoned Ici Big Idea Abandoned Science Centre In North Ayrshire 

I've flown my drone across the river from the Irvine harbour side a good few times for a look in the windies and a sniff around. Nowt much to see really. I've always called it 'The TellyTubby Hoose'. A big white Elephant. 'Abandoned in place'... lol! 12:14 is the old explosives jetty for the ICI Ardeer plant. It's well rotted. Nice to see you had a proper noshup while you were there. Tops!

Stuart, you and Eddie make a great camping duo together.

Nice day out on the coast with what looks like a nice meal👍

Good to see you back mate

She looked warm and welcoming mate.............. honest!. Good to see ya back Stu, more madness to come. Cheers Moose.

Always look forward to your videos. Good job

Good to see you back. Next time your hedin for ardeer, stay on the bypass till you hit the kilwinning roundabout, then head left towards the three towns, the next roundabout is the stevenston one with the garage, hang a left towards ardeer but take the first left towards todhill riding centre pass the caravan site, you will see a gate on the left with a notice board saying community woodland, head for the sand quarry then have a wander. lots of abandonded buildings and explosives pits and no security. Next time your hedin that way gies a shout. you also missed a hidden campsite when you went up diamond hill at fairle ( sorry just caught that vid) atb

Thanks for sharing that's a cool place to explore

Sad to see a place like this gone to waste away ! Meal looked Mmm ATB Ter God Bless

Pity you couldn't get inside, love exploring abandoned places.

Excellent! It’s fun exploring places like that. It’s a shame that money was wasted on that building.

Nice vid.

On bus back to Glasgow Stu , I see you for Corrour.

Hmm, one think that really makes my blood boil, is when governments spend millions but end up wasting it. They and the land owners, should be made to return it site back to the wilderness it once must have been. Sorry about the rant but I hate it when people abuse the land and they just leave it. Good to see you out again Stuart and always good to see you out with Eddie. Cheers Alan

Good to see you and Eddie out again.....have you’se had the slice/square argument yet?

Great video guys, gee what a waste of money that building is bro but an interesting area all the same. ATB

Plans to build yet another golf course? There's one thing Scotland has no shortage of - golf courses!

How did you get on to that side of the harbour? I've lived in Irvine for over ten years and have no clue how

Governments waste so much money. Why is the government even paying for a business? The Big Idea was a Big Flop. Only market forces can determine if something will be a hit or a miss. Good video with you and Eddie. Lovely views. Sorry, can't hear Eddie most of the time. I'm still waiting for a Yeti to respond to your couies.

Haha it's a good thing you did not go over the bridge to it,I welded part of it back in the day

So sad to see this

I worked at that time for EDM Ltd we built a number of exhibits for the BIG IDEA, Irvin is the wettest place, I have ever been, we stayed at the Seamill Hydro and had to access the site through the munitions factory road. at 20 mph.

How did you get across ?

Wasn't Beeching the ICI boss? Perhaps that'd partly explain the premature closure!

Open for 2 years and 10 months

I would of had to have a nosey inside haha

Ma nd my pals went inside that nd got aressted😂pal had to use a period pad from there haha old af lol managed to climb thre the broken window at the front after fawing over the main fence lol

The Bad Idea
