Exploring a Beautiful Abandoned 1800’s CASTLE in Scotland! - Lennox Castle

In this episode we will be exploring an abandoned castle in Scotland named Lennox Castle. Lennox Castle is located in Lennoxtown, Scotland. It is known for once being Scotland's largest institution for people with learning disabilities. The castle was built between 1837 and 1841. In 1927, the castle and its land was purchased by the Glasgow Corporation, and was converted into the mental hospital. The hospital opened its doors in 1936. The castle itself was the nurses' home and its grounds provided accommodation for about 1,200 patients. Soon after opening, the facilities were vastly overcrowded, understaffed and underfunded. By 1982, 1360 patients between the ages of 10 and 80 years old were looked after by around 500 staff- with fewer than half of these being trained nurses. The care provided by the hospital was reported to be poor, with patients being malnourished. This hospital was shut down permanently in 2002. In 2008, there was a devastating fire that left the castle in ruins.
