Polphail was built during the early 1970s to provide accommodation for up to 500 workers at a nearby oil platform construction yard in Portavadie, but was never occupied because the yard never went into production.
There have been numerous proposals to create timeshare facilities on the site of the derelict village over the years, but all have failed to attract sponsors. A further proposal reviewed in 2006 projected a village which could rival Tighnabruaich in size, with a marina for up to 250 vessels.

Silly question, but what was this place? Just a village or was it a community called a 'village'?

[AbandonedScotland]

@jay270486 Not at all :), it's a village called Polphail that was built for a nearby construction yard that ended up never being built. The village then sat never being used or lived in.

I'm so jealous! I wanna come to Scottland! These videos are great. the artwork in all taht graffiti is amazing. Sorry about typos, I cut my finger so it's hard to tye, lol.

[AbandonedScotland]

@PinkStupidity Haha no problem, you should definitely visit there's many amazing places across the country!

Thanks for making this video, I love this. I've been wanting to go up there for a few years now; it has combined my two interests of Urbex AND graf art :) Incidentally, did you see any bats while there? I've been told that permission to wander around is limited due to it now being a "bat colony"...

[AbandonedScotland]

@IWillCureYouAll We didn't see any bats but we did make sure to not disturb them. The only animals we seen were sheep which walk around :)

I wish I could move to Scotland, it's such a beautiful place, I live in Canada, I think it's pretty nice there, not much abandonded stuff only out in the country is where you'll find old houses that are run down.

Urgh. This village is horribly creepy.

[jay270486]

@AbandonedScotland Oh wow. Thats awesome. I loved the music in this video as well. It was relaxing yet haunting. I love places like this. It's so fascinating.

@Scotspikeman Benquhat and Corbie Craigs in Ayrshire are worth a visit. There aren't many buildings left, but there are a few ruins and industrial relics. Interestingly, Benquhat's war memorial is still there, as a lone reminder that there was once a village there. The nearby Dunaskin ironworks/brickworks complex at Waterside is still standing and is home to the Ayrshire Railway preservation group.
