The next part of our Scottish roadtrip sees us take a look at what were known as it's District Lunatic Asylums. We explore several disused hospitals and see how their designs changed over time.
Featuring Murray Royal, Stratheden, Rosslynlee, Bangour Village and Hartwood.
Filmed on the Nikon Z50, Sony A7IV and DJI Action 2.

Interesting video, guys. Thanks for keeping the content and tone respectful. Lots of us have relatives who were sent to these institutions, and died there, for reasons that would never stack up today.

Very much appreciated. A lot of very personal history behind these places. I recently found out my great grandad was in one in Ireland for many decades and likely also died there.

That was fantastic guys. If only you'd been able to get into them all it would have been award winning. I'm Scottish and very proud of my Country. New subscriber 👍👍👍💯💯👍👍👍

Brilliant. My great aunt was matron of the Three Counties Asylum in Carmarthenshire. Not much of it left now but I seem to remember a clock tower there too.

I did part of my training in Rosslynlea, and if only it had been as good at keeping patients in, like it stops folks getting into it today, I would not be telling this tale! A young female patient who was dedicated in escape tactics, was the bane of my life! She'd get out, and took great delight in running along the old railway line, which was usually covered in wet mud! After I managed to get near, she'd laugh and say that she would do the same the following day!! The state that we both found ourselves, did nothing to stop me wanting to put her in a strait-jacket! Ha-ha!

Rather amazing mixture of old and new. Fairly modern door handles and strike plates, a few compact florescent bulbs, drywall panels, smoke detectors, etc. Clearly updated over time until its closing. Then to see the 2019 footage...sad.

Great locations lads. We would have loved to have investigated when our Paranormal team was active.Many souls are lost in these places and would welcome help.

Interesting and very atmospheric…the ballroom and library were stunning in 2019 and still are, although the decay in such a short space of time is unbelievable. It will make a beautiful home although not sure I would feel that comfortable in it 😬Hopefully, the conversions will be sympathetic as the architecture and original features of these buildings are beautiful and on a scale we will not see again. Thank you guys for another great video ❤

Amazing to see how the ballroom has deteriorated in a relatively small space of time, Its good to see the places even of you cant always get inside, to be up close to the buildings with the atmospheric mist is enough, well worth the trip 😎

I was a student nurse at Gartloch. The towers were not water towers they were look out towers for when patients escaped

Another interesting tour. It is amazing how much decay had taken place since your last visit. Not sure if I would like to have a home in the new developments.

It's to bad you didn't have a drone. That would be awesome.

i remember when someone would go missing from the asylum the siren would go off,and not turn back off again untill they found the person who was missing ,so these sirens could go non stop for a full day and night ,also every hospital built with sandstone has undergound tunnels ,entrance to the tunnels was always from the boiler room ,laters lads :)

BANGOUR VILLAGE HOSPITAL WAS ORIGINALLY THE EDINBURGH ASYLUM AND IS APPARENTLY HAUNTED.

Man guys that place looks so gloomy and depressing inside I'm sure it didn't look like that when it was open but damn he messing being crazy and being in there I know it'd be hard because you'd have to be crazy anyway it's just a gloomy looking place amazing at what kind of shape it's in though, it's probably like 800 years old but then again they built things to last and them days not like the cracker boxes we have now???

That last one looks really ominous, creepy, really creepy. Couldn’t imagine myself living in that nurses apartment building. Out there in no man’s land. Not for this retired Canadian nurse. Psychiatry wasn’t my wheelhouse anyway. You guys aren’t worried about peeling lead paint dust, mold spores inhaling dusty mouse bird shit ??? Bats

Unless they were inhaling pounds of the stuff they'll be perfectly fine, you inhale far worse just walking down the street, paranoid much?.
