North Aberdeenshire hospital (collection) - Various dates

Alir147 · Apr 30, 2008

Thought I'd bring a collection of photos from this hospital that shows just about every area.

For special, newly emerging reasons, I can not write the name of the hospital on a public forum ( ***hint - look at the main hall logo!! *** )

Decided to scoot up here a couple of evenings back as the weather has been real good recently!

The site is pretty big! Lots of clinical buildings, villas,recreation and 'community' centre, boiler house, laundry, the old hospital buildings, staff and nurse acommodation, admin building and more.

Did voluntary work with a few of the hospitals ex-residents until recently! Some real characters for sure!

Here's some of my pics from the other night and a mix of ones from other times.

Great photo's! My self and Gorecki never got into the older buildings the day we were up. I've always meant to go back but never quite got there.

Emerging reasons? What's happening?

Lovely pics, Ali (as usual) Although I do feel no set of this particular place is complete without..................

Stellar work! There's at least 3 videos on there of them messing up the buildings.

Fair enough the place is pretty past it now, but nothing warrants mindless vandalism. HUR HUR WE THREW A FENCE THROUGH A WINDOW!

Time to email the links to Grampian Plod, methinks. Silly buggers showing their faces. Haven't they heard a biker is now in jail because he decided to show off on YouTube?

Little w****rs

Some good shots there. Lets get those vids off to the nearest plod though, they deserve to be caught.

unfortunately the police are already well aware of the situation and I have it on good authority that the wee shites have had home visits from the police too. Unfortunately there's only so much that can be done. The site, despite not being the most interesting on the planet nowadays, is actually gigantic!! There is over a mile of roads within the permiter fence and many buildings scattered right across. Short of hiring 24 hr security, nothing can be done to keep folk out.

Yeah, cos that works at other sites doesn't it

Alir147 · Oct 21, 2008

haha!! depends on what style of security!

If you had an on the ball guard with a truck inside - i think the VANDALISM would definitely decrease. If however, you're like my "good friend" at a certain scottish asylum who stays in his portakabin for over 4 hours at a time, it would continue to get trashed!

some more recent photos

the extent of the stripping out of the main old building

There is still one building on the site that is relatively untouched by neds or developers, and hasn't really been pictured much before as it's the tightest part of the whole place...

The cell - without it's padding now.
