Hi Natasha. It must have been extremely hard exploring with your team, Fornethy House. I have to say, watching this video for the first time struck me not having a nice feeling about the place.. Every wall, every door, every window tells a very sad, distressing stories of very real human beings ~ children. It's hard to take in the abuse that took place in that massive building all those years ago. Sadly not the only place either. Thank goodness,places like these have been shut down.There is never an excuse for any forms of abuse to take place anywhere. Thankyou for this video that highlighted such dreadful times for a lot of children. Whilst the horrible memories remain, I'm hoping the children @ Fornethy House are in a much better place now.
It truly was hard. I personally wasn’t even fully aware of the full extent of what went on in there until finding out on the drive home, i googled it As we couldn’t believe what we saw in there.. i wondered what the script was with this place so I put my brave pants on as Part of me didn’t want to hear it. As my heart can’t take the pain. And for personal reasons.. to then find out by the research online and then to hear the women’s stories i was heartbroken. Infact, i was driving home at 4am and i just cried. It killed me On the inside!! The place screams heartache.. you can feel it walking through the corridors. You can feel it just walking the Forrest path up to it. I’ve been to thousands of buildings but nothing like this one. . It was very hard for me to explore this one. But I’m glad I did. Look at the amazing thing it’s done for these survivors❤️
I was there twice during the 70s. Still have nightmares about it over 50 years later. The anxiety I felt watching this but at the same I couldn't look away.
Omg I was here for 5 weeks in the 80's. The rooms with the wooden panels on the walls were 2 big dining rooms. The minute u entered that house I saw the stairs it all came back to me 😭
I know someone who was here as a girl and she recently did an interview with STV about the abuse that went on! If anyone's interested in seeing it it's on GMB news tomorrow morning 26/07/2024
You're welcome! You forwarded the video onto the person I'm talking about (CJ) after she contacted you to see if you minded of she gave it to STV!?!..x
Aye, I know someone very close to me who was here as well at the time. This would have been the 70s. I'm 40 and only recently found this out. I hope they all get the justice they deserve and the Scottish Govt include Fornethy House survivors in the process.
I am currently writing a book on fornethy. Would you like to ask her if she would like to share any of her experiences with me to pop in my book. She can remain anonymous if she wishes, I will pop my email address in the links on my UA-cam.

15:04 could that jail cell be dry storage for the kitchen? I hope? Forgive me, I dont know the story behind this place. Love those beautiful Scottish accents ❤ from San Francisco, California, USA
We will never know. Someone mentioned it being a dry room for clothes. The fact there was children’s blinds inside it made us feel uneasy. A few girls were locked in parts of the building so doesn’t suprise me if they were locked in there.. we will never truly know. Thank you for watching all the way from the USA 🇺🇸❤
I was there in the 60s absolutely hated it I can remember Ms Bremner slapping me so hard across my face for not choosing my sweets quickly brilliant video thank you
Was here twice in 1960 and and about 62, o was very homesick , sat and the table for children who wet their bed . I had a sister with me older one then younger sister the second time we were only very small. But we did like it

I am here as I have heard a lot about this place on UKC. Its a shame that what went on here but it's not the buildings fault, it's those who used it for their evil purposes who are the monsters.
They were the sisters who owned the house. When they passed it was left to the area as a place to do good for children. They wanted it to be a thing of good and dark, twisted people used it for evil. My heart goes out to all the women who survived that place. Been following this since David Scott brought it to the Column and the stories I've heard brings tears to my eyes. Keep fighting ladies. You have our support.
Absolutely horrendous when I seen that cage, it couldn’t have been used for food because the radiators were caged too, which mean 1 thing. So children couldn’t burn themselves. Shame on you Glasgow council for knowing what some of the underprivileged children had to endowed in this evil place. Why hasn’t anyone been brought to justice for what happened to some of the children that sexually abused, drugged and taken in the night to the perpetrators. I was in a convent in South Africa and it had a cage like that but was used for luggage then, not saying it wasn’t used for the same as this many years before. It’s really hot home to me watching this. I watched a blog with Alex from spartan on Monday and 3 ladies spoke out and it was so sad that they still suffer to this day from the evil from within these walls, I hope they get justice, this could’ve been a beautiful place but no the staff made it evil and the councils knew about it. 🤬
It’s horrific what the ladies went through. I spoke to a few of the survivors and it would bring you to your knees hearing their stories, I done a news interview with UK column news. Then 2 days later the government surprisingly decide to accept the ladies for redress scheme.. but they will still want justice I believe! Not just hush money.. It’s so so sad! This video has been sent to a lot of people to help their case. It’s Such a shame. No child deserves what they went through!
Ladies, remember the long walks and the witches leg? We now know who the witches were. The crows in the traps, most dead with gouged eyes but some were flapping, trying to get out. Silky slimy porridge. boak. The dinner ladies were lovely but not allowed to speak to us. Who, I wonder, was the young lassie who used to work there? I think it was her 1st job from school. Even she was roaring and greetin' in the middle of the dining hall. Shame on you councils. We were exited to go on holiday, the first time anyway, but did we get one? Did we aye? Sorry, i'm pure raging by the way.
This is so sad to read. Hearing all the stories of the survivors of this place has shocked me to the core. I really hope you all get the justice you ladies deserve. I Really do. it seems the video has in fact helped a lot of the survivors along with mixed emotions. I'm glad it has, It seems it has also answered a lot of questions as well.. I pray for you all x
GIVE IT BACK TO US (The woman of Glasgow). It's a dump but we can use it and turn it into a loving holiday let for us and our families. Turn it into a museum, rewrite the dreadful history and abuse. Maybe, probably, cry, but learn to laugh as we show you how we should have been treated on a so called "holiday". I'm sure go fund me and oor ain folk would donate.
Thompson's solicitors could use the letters. Are there any teachers names in that book? Did you find any hair? It was pulled out often enough. Gym hall? I wish.
Thanks for the video but I'm angry! and sad but more angry. Years and years of trauma, eating disorders. That artwork was by us weans. It needs framed and protected. I (and others) had to get down on my knees on the gravel at the front of the building to pull out the weeds while they watched with folded arms.
I was here at about 9yrs old, 50yrs ago.How strange to see this now after so many years.
You guys are something else, well done for bringing inside this dark, sad place to light.
Thank you ❤❤

Totally agree. I know someone who was here too in the 1970s and she's doing much better. But I pray all get the justice they deserve. ⚖️🏴

UK column 👍 one of many news subs Natasha .. an urban exp that's following the real hidden, often criminal history of this land . 🙏🙏
I was there twice during the 70s. Still have nightmares about it over 50 years later. The anxiety I felt watching this but at the same I couldn't look away.
I think the areas with the cages is where our suitcases were stored.
Omg I was here for 5 weeks in the 80's. The rooms with the wooden panels on the walls were 2 big dining rooms. The minute u entered that house I saw the stairs it all came back to me 😭
Fantastic ominous music to capture the vibe
Thank you

Where is this and what was it used for
Big up UK Column!
I think the car under the tarp might be an Audi, hard to tell but the indicator lights looks like it might be Audi 80/100
Horrendous place 😢 I was there when I was 7/8 The abuse that went on there was sickening 😢
How did you get in? I was trying to do that weeks ago but I didnt find a way in.
There was Huge board ripped off when we arrived, But i think it’s been sealed again.
I was there in this horrible place but in no way was I underprivileged,my mother was in hospital and it was supposed to be a 'holiday' for me
😢 so awful.
So brave I was in this home in 1964 and was beaten , force fed, humiliated went to see it the other day
I'm so sorry for what you endured and all the others. Hugs from America 🇺🇸
Who are the two women in the pictures above the fireplace
I’m sure it’s the 2 sisters who built or first ever owned the house.

Is this place still ok to explore ?
Not sure, might be sealed again
The walls are full of mold. You shouldn’t even be in there. It’s toxic (black mold).
I was wearing a mask. 😊
What language are they speaking
Scottish 😂
Scottish of course 😂😂😂
