Asylum for Lunatics

"The Glasgow Asylum for Lunatics, one of the first purpose built hospitals of its kind, moved to Gartnavel in 1843. The plan was that patients would benefit from the peace of the countryside, and from taking part in healthy outdoor pursuits. The new building, designed by Charles Wilson, sat proudly on top of a hill, visible for miles around..."

Paraphrased some of the info on the grounds :)

Really beautiful building. A shame its abandoned!
