2. Falkirk Wheel Falkirk
The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift in central Scotland, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. The lift is named after Falkirk, the town in which it is located. It reconnects the two canals for the first time since the 1930s. It opened in 2002 as part of the Millennium Link project. The plan to regenerate central Scotland's canals and reconnect Glasgow with Edinburgh was led by British Waterways with support and funding from seven local authorities, the Scottish Enterprise Network, the European Regional Development Fund, and the Millennium Commission. Planners decided early on to create a dramatic 21st-century landmark structure to reconnect the canals, instead of simply recreating the historic lock flight. The wheel raises boats by 24 metres , but the Union Cana...

6. Doune Castle Doune
Doune Castle is a medieval stronghold near the village of Doune, in the Stirling district of central Scotland. The castle is sited on a wooded bend where the Ardoch Burn flows into the River Teith. It lies 8 miles north-west of Stirling, where the Teith flows into the River Forth. Upstream, 8 miles further north-west, the town of Callander lies at the edge of the Trossachs, on the fringe of the Scottish Highlands. Recent research has shown that Doune Castle was originally built in the thirteenth century, then probably damaged in the Scottish Wars of Independence, before being rebuilt in its present form in the late 14th century by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany , the son of King Robert II of Scots, and Regent of Scotland from 1388 until his death. Duke Robert's stronghold has survived rela...

SCOTLANDS HIDDEN ASYLUM

CALDWELL HOUSE

Originally built in 1771 as a mansion house designed by famous Scottish architect Robert Adam, Caldwell House has been hidden deep in the outskirts of Glasgow for over 245 years.

In 1927 it was converted into a hospital for the treatment of children with mental illnesses and brutal deformities, it continued to be used for this purpose until it was closed in 1985.

It was then bought by a private owner with intentions of turning it into a nursing home, however plans for this were brought to a sudden and eerie end in 1995 when the main house was burned down under suspicious circumstances.

Ever since then the house has stood derelict and dilapidated, with rumors of ghostly apparitions and paranormal activity giving residents in the surrounding areas shivers up their spine.

Caldwell is a mansion and old estate with the remains of a castle nearby. These lands lie close to the Lugton Water and the villages of Uplawmoor in East Renfrewshire and Lugton in East Ayrshire.
A new mansion house was built around 1712 by William Mure on the lands of Ramshead, however the present Robert Adam designed house was built by his son, William 'Baron Mure' about 200 yards lower down from the original. Caldwell is the last in a series of early experimental houses in the castle style which began in England with Ugbrooke House and in Scotland with Mellerstain House in Berwickshire. The house is protected as a Category A listed building.

In 1799, Jean Hunter Mure, writing from Caldwell, records that Mr Mure is at present in the very agony of making a new garden on the Brandy Hill behind the stables and offices. He has converted the old house into stables and means next year to take away the offices entirely which will make an immense improvement to the place for at present they are not a beautiful ornament . This new garden was extensive and incorporated a hot-house.

Caldwell House was the Mure family home until 1909. In 1927 Govan District Health Board converted the building into a hospital for the mentally insane and later a children's home which operated until 1985. Alterations, including the removal of the main stair to accommodate a lift shaft, led to a general decline in the state of the interior. External changes also occurred. These included fire escapes and additional boiler room and laundry buildings attached to the house. In 1987 the estate was sold off in lots by the Secretary of State. In 1995 a serious fire caused further internal deterioration and the loss of most of the roof. The building has been on the Scottish Civic Trust's Buildings at Risk register for some years. In 2006 attempts to secure restoration of the building through a Council led restoration project were initiated

Being at this place made me think of the second season of the show American Horror Story... ASYLUM! With thoughts of the opening scene of the first episode when Adam Levine explores the abandoned Briarcliff Manor. Altho we didn't come face to face with bloodyface ( Zachary Quinto ). Hes exploring this in present day, but then we get to see its rich history and dark past with characters such as Sister Jude ( Jessica Lange ) Sister Mary Eunice ( Lily Rabe ) Lana Winters ( Sarah Paulson ) and Kit Walker ( Evan Peters ). It makes me wonder what would have went on here at Caldwell House, and how it is steeped in history and moments that no one will never know about except from the people there at the time, whose ghostly spirits may still be there now!
