I dId my psychiatric training there in the 1970s. Know it very well. Some of your facts are wrong but interesting to see how it now looks inside. The main building was opened in 1828. Most of the main building was not painted pastel colours but had the original wood paneling. The main entrance was spectacular back then. Two villas each side of the chapel were called Craigie and Elcho added in 1904.To the upper right of the main entrance was a separate unit called Gilgal. Beyond the chapel was the psychogeriatric building and to the far left was the nurses home. From the video much has changed in the surrounding area since the 1970s. It was a truly amazing building and you would have loved the ballroom as it was then. I am so pleased to have had a glimpse of the building now and it is so sad how it has been left to deteriorate.

It’s a shame that those beautiful bookcases in the library are going to waste now.I always hate to see that kind of stuff when beautiful wood work gets wasted.

So beautiful, in stark contrast to the pain and suffering of the patients who endured year after year in imprisoned misery, I’m sure. Can you imagine being a patient there? Some never knowing their families and some being placed there due to their criminal behavior. We will never know what atrocities happened there nor what became of them? I wonder if there’s a graveyard somewhere on the property? The architecture dies with these places too. Nothing is made like this anymore. Thanks for the tour. Sam, you are a great narrator and cinematographer ✌🏼♥️❤️

This place, and more like it, would make excellent assisted living spaces. Peaceful, beautiful places for seniors to spend their remaining years. Turn it into a sort of school on life. You want to learn 'Adulting ', come by and ask an elder. Give the place, and the senior citizens, a new purpose. Anywho, love your channel. Yall take your time and we see so much more of the world. Nothing sensational all the time. I love that.

I was an out-patient in the new building in 2019 and I've always wondered what the old building looked like inside. After my appointments I'd have a wee wander around the grounds looking at the old building seeing if I could get inside (never could find a way). Nobody here seems to know what the council is gonna do with it, there's talks of flats or a hotel, but plans have been up in the air for years. There's a phone box filled with asbestos on the ground but idk if that's got anything to do with anything. But I do know it's not gonna be demolished because it's a listed building. :3

Pure speculation of course, but I wonder if the library was for patients, or a medical reference library for the doctors? Likewise, the ballroom may have been less a place for dances and more for presentations to doctors, staff, benefactors, etc.?

Amazing building. Yes it definitely could be used for something and tragic to see these buildings go to waste. But i wonder how long do the explorers stop and think about the people who actually lived there. Some people who lived and worked in these places are still living even though it feels like a place from the past. Respect has to be shown to people and to architecture. Breaking into old buildings without permission isn't great…..only encourages others who might not have any respect at all. If explorers thought more carefully and actually worked with the owners towards a project to get involved with then it would be more interesting……and respectful. I only say this from sad experience. It is good to see inside these for another generation, but care has to be taken to be respectful and not laugh at things.
