Gartloch Asylum, Glasgow - August 2012

[Skin ubx]

Ive not been up here in ages so cant comment about access up towers. I was always in awe of that ceiling - its a sad remant of its former glory now with all the pieces caved in. I was more scared to walk the upper floors of the wards - especially the one they used for the radio station in the "Taking Over the Asylum" programme for TV.

 

[Sshhhh...]

I love this place! On my list for a while now. Such a beautiful building. Great shots

Looks a fab splore, your piks have made us wanna go even more, you;ll have to show us round here next year mate

No problems, its a fantastic place! Access is pretty scary but manageable, think I would be braver next time!

I never knew there was a TV programme based here! What building was that based in? I still haven't done the large ward building at the front of the site, its probably the biggest too!
