    Default Old cars dumped in the Scottish Borders

    These heaps can be found dumped at Gordon Moss in the central Borders. Havent the faintest idea what they are but they are quite nice!

    That's really sad, Ross. Are they on private land?

    Despite the state they are in, it's amazing what someone would give for the pieces. Refurbishing cars of that age is a popular hobby, and parts are expensive as they're difficult to find. These pieces of bodywork could make money for someone!

    Its not public land, but there are access rights on foot across the land as the access laws are different up here.

    SWMBO tells me the cars are dumped on what was a 1960's tip - unregulated at the time of course so there could be all sorts of nasty stuff in and around them!
