These buildings all need love, time. And money. Hopefully they get it, and things like this story help to highlight what is on our doorstep

I think there's some who may wish to see Lennox Hospital crumble to the ground

By 1982, 1360 patients between the ages of 10 and 80 years old were looked after by around 500 staff, with fewer than half of these being trained nurses. The Scottish Hospitals Advisory Service had visited the year before and recommended a further 100 staff.[4] The care provided by the hospital was reported to be poor, with patients being malnourished.[2]

There was also a separate maternity unit in operation between the 1940s and 1960s;[3][5] singer Lulu and footballer John Brown were among the babies born there.[6][7]

This hospital was closed in 2002,[8] as a reflection in changes to how society treated patients with learning disabilities with a view to keeping them in the community.[2][9] Further, it was noted that patients were treated poorly by staff.[1]
