In this video, I discover something pretty amazing at a spooky abandoned RAF base. RAF Aird Uig, Scotland.
Earlier this year, during one of my many visits to the Outer Hebrides, I took time out to explore the spooky remains of an old RAF base on the Isle of Lewis. Nothing could have prepared me for what I found.
Whilst this sounds a little clickbaity, it isn't. I really did discover something quite extraordinary. I decided not to release the video before today for a very good reason. I don't want to spoil the surprise but it's important to read the disclaimer in the video.

I have created a blog that goes into a lot of the history associated with the ex-military base. I have included many fun facts too
Plus you can take a closer look at the many images I captured.
I hope you enjoy the video and feel free to leave a comment.

Hi Gary, the curtains you mentioned were exactly the same in the Army, I was posted to Gutersloh (West Germany in 1976) and the RAF camp was the other side of the town and we visited quite often as you guys had a bigger and better NAAFI than us! Really enjoyed watching the video Gary, keep up the good work :-)

Great to see places like that as when we was kids there was a lot of old forts that we could get into and it was fabulous looking around them.

Very exciting and eerie video you are a brave man Gary to walk around in that place all alone and to climb down the stairs that looked really scary!! but it is also good fun to visit such places and try to sense the history of the place.

@happymystic9800 9 месяцев назад

I would hardly visit such a place on my own, let alone descending ladders into the dark. My mind would play all kinds of tricks on me. But really an interesting video which I appreciate to watch from a distance 😊😅 … cheers.

@jefffiles9209 6 месяцев назад

@GaryGough If buildings could tell stories. It must have been amazing looking around, and guess evoked a few memories. Great video Gary, cheers

@vk4vsp 9 месяцев назад

Imagine wandering around in there, turning round and there's someone standing behind you. They wouldn't even get a chance to say hello and I'd be out one of those windows, screaming like a little girl, a huge cloud of dust behind me. 🤣

@garymullen4056 9 месяцев назад

Hey Up Gary, Very interesting video. What a find. Glad you enjoyed it while you could. I'm no expert but those guitars particularly the Stagg ones are some of the least expensive on the market, generally aimed at beginners. A Hoard none the less. Just think of the amount of servicemen/women stationed there who never appreciated the beauty we all can see. As Ever, Thank You.

@GaryGough 9 месяцев назад

Cheers Gary. I wouldn't know a cheap one fom a decent one 😁😁

@desgardner7169 9 месяцев назад

There is something strange going on here if that was R.A.F stuff in a airbase, we paid for that lot and when you mentioned a Paul Gibson guitar wow! say no more...

@GaryGough 9 месяцев назад

Mental stuff huh? 😁😁

@timrosenburgh8597 9 месяцев назад

Wow what a fantastic place. It must have brought a lot of memories back when you were in the RAF. All the guitar's,drum kit etc must have been worth a lot of money. It makes you wonder why anyone would leave all that. Look forward to the next one.

@GaryGough 9 месяцев назад

Memories indeed. Cheers Tim 👍👍

@seafieldroad1 2 месяца назад

Hi Gary. I thought you should know that your 'incredible discovery' here is a private house that someone broke into shortly before this film was made. I've emailed you about this and the man who showed you around, who is not a resident of Aird Uig and is no longer in the village. I'm not going to say anything more about that here other than that the police are investigating the break in as well as two other thefts in Aird Uig that may be related. Your disclaimer is not true. The house is very much still there and the owner has been informed about the break in (it is now locked again, as it was before someone kicked the door in). The building featured in the first half of the video is also closed to the public. It's owned by Gallan Head Community Trust who have been working hard for years to make the former RAF base safe for visitors. The 'graffiti' you criticised is a set of drawings from a community art festival that took place five years ago while the building was temporarily open. I think everyone here would appreciate it if you take this video down. It's misleading on numerous levels.
