  • Lennox Castle might appear to be a regular old abandoned Scottish castle from the outside, but its history is a bit less majestic. For many years Lennox castle was a hospital and Scotland's largest mental institution. "Hospital" is a generous term for this overcrowded and cruel building.
    Here's how to find Lennox Castle hospital:
    Parking: goo.gl/maps/vQ3pCABbxV3RiFnf7
    Walking to Lennox Castle: To reach the parking area, you'll drive over a bridge on Newbridge Road. After the bridge there are two parking spots on the right. The spots are opposite a paved path. Take the unpaved path near the two parking spots, NOT the paved path. Follow the path until you reach a turn off to the right. Stay walking with the river on your right. You'll continue uphill until you see Lennox Castle.

    The castle was the nurses accommodation. Where the housing estate is was several wards and a shop almost like a village of it’s own. The castle itself did not house 1600 people. In 1941 the castle was used as an emergency maternity hospital during the Second World War. The surrounding ground now houses the training area for Glasgow Celtic (selltick) football club.

    Where the housing estate and Celtic training ground is was all part of the hospital grounds. It was like another village where all the patients were.

    It’s amazing how deteriorated it has become in 20 years. 👍

    Really is amazing !!! ( cough,...aggghhhtt...aaahhheeeemmm ) More likely 1700's. This wasn't poured concrete it's block per block of granite. Like ancient history. It's out in nowhere vil. I know youtube like my own spirit.

    We call them Sell-Tic nowadays.
    They're a lot more solid than that Structure. Regardless - all things crumble.

    the hole in the ground could have been a well.

    Very well described by the narrator. A play about this dreadful hospital is being put on in Edinburgh at end of March 2023.

    It's such a weird continuation too that Celtic FC, with its history of institutional abuse of vulnerable people, would train on the old Lennox Castle grounds

    Is there any actual solid evidence of all the claims relating to this place? Has anyone ever been prosecuted?
    If not then I'm going to state that it's all a pack of lies.

      Plenty of first hand accounts from the victims.

      Well that's like believing because noone spoke out or did ( but not believed) that all those Catholic priests were innocent! People with disabilities are not heard even very recently as they cannot express themselves as those with fluent speaking skills it does not mean nothing happened it means the people complained to like nuns of old did not believe them or were too scared to report, do some research!
