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.
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
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.
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.
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!
I lived and grew up in lennoxtown most off the workers in the castle were local's from the surrounding areas. Lennoxtown, Milton of campsie. Haughead etc. They didn't just abuse people. The way that people have talked about this is they just go to work to abuse people no. They worked there and the government services deemed who is sent there. It really sounds more like fantasy from some people like it was some sortof chitty chitty bang bang child catcher grabbing everyone locking them in a big castle and then the local workers just abused them.. I don't think so.. also my grandmother worked in there and refutes most off this propoganda.

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.
Cool vid and really cool castle ruins! 2:16 Is the training facilities of the mighty Glasgow Celtic football team 👍
It's not the same hospital where the Queen Mother's cousines lived?
Thats not a gard tower. Thats the original castle.
there was another castle behind you in the woods
You should bring lighting when you explore!!
It’s amazing how deteriorated it has become in 20 years. 👍
It really is!
The castle was set on fire in 2008
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.
The evil things that were done to poor men women kids I seen some that were in there for 40years were mental ill

Plenty of first hand accounts from the victims.
