Abandoned 16th century "Eastend House/Castle" ---- South Lanarkshire, Scotland [06:56]
Information from buildings at risk register scotland: Georgian country house built around the nucleus of a simple square keep of c.1500. The tall crowstep-gabled wings to the east and west were added in 1673. The bow-fronted elevation to the south was added in the 18th century and completely encases the original keep on that side. The Scottish Baronial additions to the west date to 1851 and are by David Bryce. The original keep is now only visible along its north front and a little of its east side. It is in coursed and harled rubble and rises through 3 storeys to a crenellated parapet borne on corbels. A gabled garret storey sits above. The first floor string course continues along the 17th century wing to the east.

Spheres, found in Canada and elsewhere, they are suspended from a web of rope and offer you a great way to connect with nature. Then there's the Dog Bark Park Inn in Cottonwood, United States -where you get to stay inside a dog. Still not unique enough for you? How about a stay in a windmill from the 18th century? What's the strangest place you have stayed at?
