Scotland's Most Horrific Secret

[@bionicnichola9251]

I can't take Norton seriously with his mam's sunglasses on 😂 finally Sunday has arrived with the boys.

[@TheBerendir]

I see what you're saying but I would laugh more if he was wearing pit vipers 😂

as much as i love the over night camping, when i saw this pop up i was so happy., talking nonsensical ballocks whilst exploring an abandoned place was what made me fall in love with your channel. really enjoyed this.

[@angelahamilton1656]

My daughter’s great aunt was put in Lennox Castle age 15 because she ran away as a teen and misbehaved. Probably the result of her mum passing. She was released when she was in her forties. Margaret was not mentally ill or had deficits when she was institutionalised but she did on release. I wonder if that is the teen you were talking about. My daughter’s gran and family visited her regularly. She was very much loved.

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

That's horrendous. Trouble is there were so many women it happened too for simply being rebellious. Baby out of wedlock and the woman got locked up, the man left free to continue on with his life without consequence. Even in the 80s single mums got all the abuse especially in the newspapers. Such a different world now.

Norton giggling in the background is the best thing ever.

[@jambaroy6027]

My gran used to work in here, she used to tell me stories that her and 4 other nurses used to watch over 60 patients, when my gran eventually left she took a patient with her and brought her home, my dear friend of the family my auntie Francis she lived with us for 20+ years before passing away in 2015

[@jambaroy6027]

I spoke to my grandmother and she was telling me that my auntie Francis was brought into the hospital at 17 and she eventually left at 77

[@jambaroy6027]

She then eventually passed away 2015 age 93

[@danielle5360]

What a wonderfully loving lady your gran was, to take that lady home with her and let her live with your family for 20 years. Lovely lady Yr gran was for doing that bless her hart and soul. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻♥️♥️✌🏻👍🏻

I’m a hell on earth fan from Lennoxtown! I remember exploring the castle about 20 years ago and you could enter every room from the ground all the way to the flag pole. Shame its in that state now. Some interesting videos on youtube you have prob seen about history of the site when it was an institution. The place was huge. Good vid lads!

[@keithchristie66]

You guys have not run out of ideas. I was feeling a little low but now you three have cheered me up. Keep up with the great work 👍

[@Boric78]

I really enjoyed this History Hit documentary. Those professors with their authorative and informed arguments make for a riveting and absorbing discussion of some of the Middle Ages most obscure periods. Whilst I am unsure what "bell end" means and why Professor Al always needs a proper haircut, their dramatic telling of Scotlands darkest epoch remains a true master class in documentary TV.

[@TurrellTV]

I firmly believe you guys are basically KZbin’s version of the Wyld Stallyns from Bill and Ted. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday you will be legendary. Until then, be excellent to each other.

I've been watching you guys for years and just love how chill you guys are and just making us laugh with the comments and jokes along the way. You never over exaggerate to try make an over the top exciting video. They always remind me of days out with my dad, we would always go little exploring adventures like your guys videos.

Norton’s building references are amazing, considering he always looks like he’s just stepped off a building site. Al looks like Jesus, if Jesus had to sign the register 3 times a week. And Lloydy looks like the child no mother would admit to giving birth to. 😂

[@Natasha___.]

The corporation was the council (it’s now called Glasgow city council). When I was a kid people still called council houses corporation/ corpy houses. And the buses were called corpy buses before it became privatised. I actually forgot about that until I heard you mention it.

Hey Norton, I happen to like when you talk about the place you guys go to. The castlesand mansions are beautiful. I wish you guys could slow a little bit, tell a bit more about where you are. You three are so entertaining❤❤❤.

[@johnnymcnulty6229]

You guys should visit the MacDuff castle near Kircaldy.. there are caves along the sea line to explore and some castle ruins next to an old graveyard.. perfect for you lot I love the Scottish videos, I live in Glasgow and you guys know more about my country's history than most people I know 😂

[@cracky-patty113]

As a scottish person that lives in a "village" is basically a town but doesnt have all the requirements to be one. In summer i can hear cows screaming for no bloody reason while im trying to sleep at 2 am. And theres ruins from the 1800s tumbled down massive houses. Why do the fireplaces always stay intact and nothing else? When i was a moody teen i use to sit on a old farmers tumbled down fireplace. Looked like a stone arch way but must have been such a wee cosy farm house back when built. I use to love climbing over fences into feilds and finding streams, river and abandoned places. Thats why i love you guys so much.

Stayed here as a student . Horrible creepy place , no locks on the doors yet you could hear people shuffling about in the corridors and listening at the doors ! Was terrified to go to the bathroom at night . One of our group had a breakdown because of it . I once went down to the enormous kitchens after dark . When I put on the light , every surface was alive with cockroaches! Nearly 50 years on and I still shudder to think of it !

[@dawnprochilo8084]

Thanks for sharing this guys, sad to see what used to be a majestic building at one time just rotting away. The architecture of what's left is really awesome. Too bad these places can't be refurbished to a tourist attraction or a hotel. Too bad there wasn't more of it left to explore. Take care guys, looking forward to your next video.

I remember visiting this place with my mate Jimmy in the late 90s (I think about then) It was about when the area was about to be developed. You could drive up to it nearly. You could still see the white tiles on the surgical areas and the occasional gurney and various other bits of furniture lying around the outside. We didn't know anything about the history at the time (pre Internet), but the place had a real spoopy vibe to it. Mostly because it was dusk, but mostly because of the creepy security guard following us about.
