Tuberculosis / Mentally ill Hospital *IMAGE HEAVY*

I visitied this site back in May 2014,spent a good 4 hours here, but there is so much more to see but it was getting late. I would go back to explore more one day soon, there was so many buildings to explore, some boarded up completely, but there are plenty open buildings to wander about in, the place was eerily quiet apart from a group of photography students, a good, peaceful adventure!

BACKGROUND
In 1922 East Fortune Hospital served as a tuberculosis sanatorium for the south east region of Scotland until the onset of World War II. The airfield was then brought back into service as RAF East Fortune, initially a training airfield, and the hospital patients were transferred to Bangour Hospital in West Lothian. The hospital re-opened after the war, but by 1956, as the number of tuberculosis patients began to fall, the hospital changed its function to house the mentally handicapped. In 1997, the hospital closed down.

Another blinding report, what a fantastic start!
Love the look of this place, and haven't seen it before either.
Looking forward to many more of your finds

Welcome to the site. I like your style, thanks for sharing.

I like that, cheers..

Hasn't changed much over the years think the saving for the place is its remoteness, apart from the cottages and farms.Its a nice place to stroll around.

I loved how quiet it was,it was great being left in peace to check it out and get some photos. Much enjoyed.

You,ve got some cracking shots,thanks for sharing.

Everyone loves a decaying hospital! Thanks

Nice pics, I haven't seen this place before either so thanks!
