Hospital In Aberdeenshire July 2014/ Aug 2015

Hi,
This is the 2nd time at this location for me. Went to show my friends around and didn't take any pics but I will post ones from my first visit a few years ago, not much has changed.

A bit of history:

The hospital was built in 1900 for tuberculosis patients, when TB died down it served as a luxury hotel but was taken over during the war to server as a billet for troops. Finally it was used as a nursing home for the elderly before being closed in 1998. Has sat empty since, surprisingly good condition for being derelict for over 16 years.

Outside shot to get an idea of the size of the place:


Some areas are in pretty dire state while some are completely damp free and safe:


All the weird things you find:


Shame that people feel the need to break cool items:

Its totally destroyed now

This was particularly creepy, found in a pitch dark basement:




I think we have?


Stained Glass, Broken Glass & Glass:





This is how close the new facility and the public are to the site we are exploring:


Basement tunnel leading to nowhere, very cramped smelly and full of big spiders


View out of the tower:


Nobody is Watching:

Thanks for looking.. this is only my 2nd post so suggestions/ improvements are welcome.

What a fantastic place to explore - I bet you had a great time nice pics!

I think this is the one my Nan used to work at in the 60s. Thanks for posting, always good to see it.

You're welcome.. I have a few more to post when i find some time.

I've been to most known places around here so there wont be much stuff I haven't seen already

I would say that's a pretty damn good post for your second report! Only advice....keep up the good work!

I believe that this former hospital was featured on the TV program Restoration in a bid for funding. I don't think it won and by the looks of it not going to restored anytime soon. The main construction of the building is wood and is or was listed.

Up to date exterior shot for you aswell

Proper Job, Thanks

I have seen a lot of photos of the outside of this building but never any of the interior. A very good post. Thanks.

Great photos and what a cracking radiogram!

What a lovely old place!
Loving the pano shot too!
Thanks for sharing

thanks for the kind words makes it worth while posting this stuff up.

The radioactive thing in the 3 rd shot is a smoke detector head no problem unless you eat it or snort it!

Perfect place for an asbestos sandwich

Great stuff, cheers for posting!
