When it comes to dark, gloomy, and utterly scary abandoned spaces, long-forgotten asylums are definitely on everyone’s top ten list. Abandoned amusement parks can also be eerie, with their broken-down Ferris wheels and dust-covered carousels, but mental hospitals scare a lot of people even when they are still in use. Many stories about these places spread whilst they are still in operation. However, it is after their closure that the ghost stories begin to haunt the living. Designed in the Scottish Baronial architectural style, the hospital is easily noticeable due to the clock towers that stand on its North-Western corners. Originally opened in 1895, Hartwood Hospital served for a full century before it was closed down in 1998. It was designed by John Lamb Murray. Murray was an autodidact – he taught himself the art and science of architecture as well as mechanical engineering. As was the case with many asylums from the 19th century, Hartwood had its dark sides. It went down in history as the first place in Scotland to perform lobotomies – notorious procedures that frequently turned fully-grown human beings into vegetables.
