Bothwellhaugh Estate
This shows a grim tail of what happens when the sea reclaims. Bothwellhaugh Estate was a new, thriving town. Then the hurricane struck.
This mission includes a destroyed town called Bothwellhaugh. Bothwellhaugh is named after a town in Scotland that became to its own watery fate. Below will be some info.
This mission includes:
-Small destroyed town.
-Small destroyed lighthouse.
-Two sea animals.
-Several scattered props, as well as a destroyed bridge.
-Pretty much lag free! I literally have no idea how, but when it comes into view I have little to no frame reduction. Please tell me if you have any trouble with lag, so I can make sure to put a comment up about it.
The town is located in the Sawyer swamp area. To find the exact location, please activate the mission when spawning it in. This shows the location.
Bothwellhaugh was a mining town in Scotland. Two coal mines had later been set up, and thats where most workers were housed. However the mines had to be shut down from constant flooding, in which upped the price of operation. The town was then flooded to produce the Strathclyde Loch, which is a county park.
Most likely this town was built in hopes of being a fishing or trading village. However about 2 months after the last house was completed, a series of devastating hurricanes left the town in shambles. To add to this disaster, the land owners forged part of their land survey. In reality, this area was never strong enough to support buildings. The mix of heavy rain and winds, along with unstable ground.. Yeah. While the town was able to repair, the condition of the shoreline continued to decrease. Over the period of a year the town slowly sank further towards the shore, and the lighthouse slowly tilted. Due to the hurricane, most residence couldn’t afford to keep up on repairs. When it was announced that another hurricane was set to move in, most evacuated. 7 of the 20 households moved into the newly built Holt Town. Most others moved on. At last, the hurricane hit. While not being as strong as predicted, it was just enough. A landslide devoured most of the coastline, the houses couldn’t stand. The roadway washed away, and bridge collapsed. Only 9 houses and the lighthouse remain. Most are in full disrepair, the bridge was none luckier. Only two residence live in Bothwellhaugh, you can spot the two swimming around or laying on the beach. Yes.. its two seals.

Dislike anything? Feel free to tell me. Even if you dislike it, I’d still like to know what I can improve on for the future.
Before reporting for floating parts, please read below:
-Only report it if absolutely nothing is connected yet its floating.
-If it is connected by a corner, that should not be considered floating.
-The most time was spent destroying the bridge and houses. So there are probably lots of areas that seem odd. Please remember that this is alot of bricks and parts, I’m human and probably missed something.
-I do NOT have every individual house saved. Each house save file was replaced by another one, to easily streamline the building process. Most fixes will be done by adding a pipe or block using the mission editor.
