Abandoned Lennox Castle Hospital - Scotland, UK - Urban Exploration - Haunted
!Warning! Heavy swearing half way through the video lol I wasn't sure if I would upload this because it is pretty much just a shell. I mainly wanted to just see it as I've never been and known about it for years. It's been badly fire damaged so that's why it's in such a bad state. I've tried my best to film remains of what it once looked like, which wasn't much. There's a few odd sounds captured during the video as well. Sorry for the muffled gopro sound as well, I had the wrong back door on.

Not the best of ideas but I flew the drone in heavy rain but look at what we captured ❤????????????????????????????
Bellow is Information on the site filmed.
Waverley Park Home was run by the Glasgow Association for the Care of Defective and Feeble-Minded Children. Opened in 1906 it provided care for girls only. Stoneyetts Hospital was built by Glasgow Parish Council and opened in 1913. It was a certified institution for mentally deficient people under the Mental Deficiency and Lunacy (Scotland) Act of 1913. Stoneyetts became seriously overcrowded and arrangements were made with Falkirk Parish Council for patients to be cared for at Blinkbonny Home. Lennox Castle Hospital was built by Glasgow Corporation, also as a hospital for mentally deficient people. It had 1,200 beds when it opened in 1936 and was the largest MD hospital in Britain: a substantial number of patients were transferred from Stoneyetts to Lennox Castle. During the Second World War a large part of the hospital was requisitioned under the Emergency Hospital Scheme. Between 1941 and 1943, a 120 bed maternity unit was established as a temporary measure: this finally closed in 1964. In the early 1970s the bed complement reached a peak at 1,620, by 1991 this had fallen to 830. When the NHS was formed in 1948 the B of M for Lennox Castle and Associated Institutions was created to manage Lennox Castle Hospital, Stoneyetts Hospital and Waverley Park Home. In 1974 they were placed in the Northern District of the GGHB. In 1992 Stoneyetts Hospital closed. In 1993 Lennox Castle Hospital became the responsibility of the Greater Glasgow Community and Mental Health Services NHS Trust.

The focus of the Lennoxtown area used to be the busy Lennox Mill, where tenants of the Woodhead estate brought their corn to be ground. There were several corn mills in Campsie Parish, but this was arguably the most important. Lennox Mill was located in the vicinity of the recently demolished Kali Nail Works

Abandoned Mental Hospital - Lennox Castle, Scotland
The castle itself was built in the 1830s, but in early 20th century, the space was converted into what would later become a truly infamous psychiatric hospital. Lennox Castle Hospital was eventually closed in 2002.
In 1925, plans were drawn up by Glasgow Council for a new ‘Mental Deficiency Institution’, and the Lennox Castle Hospital complex was opened a few years later, in 1936. When it opened, Lennox Castle was hailed as being way ahead of its time, and was the largest and best equipped hospital of its kind in Britain.
The hospital cost over £1 million to build, and had space for 1,200 patients. There were separate dormitories for male and female patients, each one holding around 60 people in two wards.
Patients also had access to two communal dining halls (with seating for 600 people in each) and a central Assembly Hall, which housed a stage, equipment for cinema shows, and recreational facilities. Despite a promising start, conditions at Lennox Castle Hospital soon began to deteriorate. The hospital was vastly overcrowded, understaffed and underfunded. Vulnerable patients were left to fend for themselves in the large wards.
The hospital quickly went downhill. Lennox Castle, was less of a mental institution than a warehouse, where those deemed society’s misfits were deposited.
Truants, unmarried mothers, wayward teenagers and children with learning difficulties, Down’s syndrome or mental illness all ended up there.
They were starved, drugged, physically and emotionally abused and robbed of their humanity.
People regularly tried to escape, Those who did were chased by dogs through the surrounding woods. When returned, they were locked up for six weeks, placed on a mattress on the floor, drugged and forbidden visitors.
Patients who didn’t need drugs were given them, as a way of ensuring they remained calm and didn’t cause trouble in the overcrowded conditions. In reality, only around 10 per cent of the hospital’s residents genuinely required anti-psychotic drugs.
There are several reports of patients dying or being seriously injured due to the lack of care at Lennox Castle Hospital.
One man was found set alight in the bathroom in the middle of the night and died the following day. Another was seriously injured when a nurse threw a scalding cup of tea on him, while a heart attack (brought on by severe distress while being physically restrained) resulted in another patient’s death.
Some claim that there was more than neglect going on at Lennox Castle Hospital. Former patients recall being given unnecessarily cruel punishments for small offences. Incidents included being struck with a baseball bat and being made to run laps barefoot around the castle, just for forgetting to address a staff member as “sir”.
Other punishments included being dressed in a knee-length white nightshirt and being forced to scrub the floors with a toothbrush. people
For misdemeanours, patients would be made to sit in a nightdress at a table in the corridor and eat bread and milk.
After decades of keeping patients shut away from the outside world, Lennox Castle Hospital finally closed in 2002. The last few remaining patients were reintegrated back into the local community, or transferred to more modern psychiatric units, before the hospital was abandoned. Since then, the eerie site has lain empty, and the buildings have rapidly deteriorated. The formerly grand Lennox Castle is now a crumbling shell. The area remains empty.

Returned to Lennox Castle Asylum to get some drone footage, the drone actually fell from the top of the building right through the building to the bottom and survived amazingly with only a prop broken as the building had no roof it acted like a huge chimney drawing the drone down into a vortex and crashing.
