Closed in 2007 and now in a bit of a state. Went along with Fraz for a butchers and it was lie something from the walking dead minus the zombies. A little about the site is shown below copied from the NHS website.


Merchiston Hospital Administrative/Biographical History

Broadfield Hospital was opened in 1925 and catered for mentally deficient men. Broadstone House was purchased by Paisley Burgh in 1929 to accommodate mentally deficient females and juveniles. Broadfield and Broadstone were administered as a single hospital. In 1946, Broadfield was sold to the Port Glasgow Town Council, who cleared the site. Paisley Burgh bought Merchiston House as a replacement and patients were moved there in 1948. This facility was known as Broadfield Hospital, Merchiston Unit. In 1958 two new wings were added providing an extra 70 beds. In 1979 Merchiston was redeveloped with four 30-bedded units built to a modern bungalow design. In 1948, with the advent of the National Health Service, the management of Broadfield (including the Merchiston Unit) was assumed by the Board of Management for Greenock and District Hospitals. In 1974 it passed into the care of the Inverclyde District of the Argyll and Clyde Board. The hospital closed in 2007-2008

Place has been trashed and robbed over the past few years by all sorts yet the cameras were still following us which was quite eerie, can't work out if there actually being watched and controlled or if they are movement sensitive but even when we walked right under them they still pointed right at us, so how has the place been robbed in plain view of the cameras, very strange, good wee wander though.
 
Yes it used to be good here and the main admin building was full of interesting stuff but the security firm in charge or one of the employees was in cahoots with pikeys who came in and basicaly robbed the place:(

Even then the padded unit and isolation walk was damp as feck
 
Only tried this place the once and had to run away from pikeys on the job! What a shame to see it in such an awful state now.
