We had a look in Brechin Infirmary a couple of years back. At the time it was another of those places with flashing PIR's and a deactivated alarm. Sadly it has now been demolished to make way for more housing, and I've lost most of my pictures of it:

To be fair, it's also typical of Methil. Not one of Fife's highlights now that the power station has gone.

I watched a video on Poo Toob the other day and these guys explored a palace which had a very similar staircase, in Lisbon I think it was. There's some amazing places over here in Portugal just rotting away. It's positively criminal.
