Decided to make a return trip to the place which we paid a quick visit to last year, Again this was a quick visit as i was on my way to somewhere else.
Opened in 1889 on the east side of Glagow this was a impressive and impossing building. This catered for 540 patients rising to a high of 830 in 1904. Like most hospital ofthe period it has had a long and Varied past and not Just used a a psychatric hospital. I really wish I had seen this just after it had shut as even now you can see what a gloroius building it once would have been. A large portion of the hospital has been converted, for some reason though the convertion has been stalled for a number of years we thinkthis is another case of the builder hoping for the neds to do him a favour.
The main hall is stunning and for it to left to get in the state it is in now is nothing short of criminal
