I thought I'd post this up as, surprisingly, there's very little on here about this lovely building, apart from Lost's external shot and history...

Visited with Bryag, Alir147 and Gorecki , big thanks to the last two for this one!

Approach:

Kitchens, not much left, and overlooked by the live site :(

The stained-glass in the stairwells was amazing :

Sadly my pictures don't do it justice, hopefully someone will post some up that do ;)

This was a great site, wish we'd had more time here, sadly I had to head home for a meal out :mad:

I hope everyone's access-related mishaps are okay now! I was the only one to get in and out unscathed :p
 
I'm a sucker for stained-glass and that one's gorgeous. I also like that dining room...rather delightful, I thought. Like the flaky ceilinged room too. Lots of interesting windows. Nice one! :)
 
Looks like a great explore The building itself looks foriegn! I love the stained glass its quite subtle and elegant. :mrgreen: Nice explore well done.

Both my Dad & Bill Bryson both reckon that Scottish architecture is a different style to English. My Dad remembers thinking that a lot of the older buildings in Edinburgh looked strange, especially as they often had more floors than an English building of the same age taking up the same amount of land.

well i must admit i love stain glass as well and this place has it in abundance even the toilets have stained glass :lol: but its a seriously different building from anything else that i have been in which is why it was one of my favourites, especially to photograph:) and highly recommended to see

It was a very nice explore, had to be really quiet though, as the walls were paper thin, and there is a nice, new hospital very close to it:p:mrgreen:
 
Thanks Jules, I was inspired by "Where's Wally":p:) It makes it a little more interesting if you miss the odd one out also!
 
I missed this thread! And I've never been.

Time for an update, I think. Or has it been fully developed by now? Still worth visiting, do you think?
 
It's still do-able, I went up about 5 weeks ago. The Kitchen area now has no roof, apart from that, no changes :mrgreen:
 
Coincidence … I went past today … shame the kitchens have been opened up – I liked the glass extract canopies as they were.

I see the Heras has moved around a bit. ;)
