Exploring a Beautiful Abandoned 1800’s CASTLE in Scotland! - Lennox Castle

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

Good video Guys I'm Scottish and this is a local playground for me. You've captured it brilliantly and the narration adds so much. Well done new subscriber

[@urbaxvibes]

Thank you so much!!

[@greywebs1944]

I'm pleased you both enjoyed this explore and you made it out safely. I wouldn't be surprised underneath all the dirt and rubble there's tiled flooring. That would be superb to uncover 👍 Scotland is a magical full of mystery, which makes it all worthwhile to visit. Loving your videos as always from England 🌹 And Sony definitely the best. My late father would buy anything Sony related.

[@Buszkraftowski]

Thank you. Soctland is s beautiful. Even such a Lost Place is still kind of beautiful.

[@urbaxvibes]

Thank you for watching!! 🙏🙏

[@jambo9142]

Next to the gatehouse arch main entrance , there is a even older castle few meters away in the woods , it is a decayed old style Scottish tower house castle , the original family home

[@anneDoshka]

thank you for filming spiders, most people dont do that (like they didnt exist) but I think its part of the place to admire.

[@domm3688]

To be noted .....also they are not poisonous 😂 I did have a giggle, gurl u ain't in America 🕷 you are safe!

[@ArooDoggo]

We live in a nearby town, when my mum was in her teens she performed at Lennox castle with an accordion band she was part of. There was a patient at that time nicknamed buttons that went and stole all the buttons off my mums duffle coat, there was a girl who was there permanently they nicknamed sleeping beauty, she was in a catatonic state for many years and had beautiful golden hair that was always brushed out across her pillows. Some amazing stories from that place. Really such a shame what happened to it A few women in my family were nurses there and at the woodilee asylum that was over in neighbouring Kirkintilloch. Shame you didn’t get here 15 years ago ago you would have had that place to explore too but it’s now a housing estate Aw you guys missed out on those juicy brambles! Especially the one you took a photo of, we call them brambles but yes they are blackberries and those ones looked just lovely!

[@ManicMasksAndHorror]

Another great vid. Yikes, those spiders gave me chills. Hope you're ok from your fall. I have to admit though, I laughed when you hit your head on the tree branch lol. Good stuff guys. =)

[@GregTheMan]

This is very cool History

[@CristianAhualt-ew3sx]

That castle is beautiful and biggest

[@urbaxvibes]

Such a beautiful castle!

[@michellekaase4878]

Hope you guys have an awesome Thanksgiving

[@urbaxvibes]

Thank you! Hope you do as well!! 🦃

[@Itsnotme73]

I think the first couple of rooms were potentially the boiler room and all the spaces were for the firewood. I may be wrong. I’m a mental health nurse and have worked with people who worked there. The care was not as bad as it’s made to appear. I’m not saying the care was great, but it was appropriate of the times.

[@kristaseyler654]

Idk if you could get in but there's the Sauer castle in Kansas city it would be a cool explore !!! I love old castles so beautiful !!!

[@this-and-that0608]

There was also a separate maternity unit in operation between the 1940s and 1960s; singer Lulu and footballer John Brown were among the babies i was born there july 1959

Thx for good video

[@Glesga_lassie]

This was my ancestors home 😮

[@rosegw9458]

I'm thinking that's a Huntsmen spider... They are not poisonous to humans .. I figured it wa a Huntsmen spider but didnt know it they were poisonous. So I googled it.. 🙂 I do enjoy your videos... ❤

[@ArooDoggo]

We don’t have those spiders here in Scotland :)

[@HAZYFALKIRK]

Listed buildings like this always go on fire, then they put up a fence then leave to rot eventualy knocking it down for safety

[@1990paulieboy]

Things like toilets and doors and stuff like that will be from fly tippers there’s lots of them in the uk… back when this castle was made a toilet (if they had them) was like a plank of wood with a hole in it 😅

[@beccarmagie]

this is incorrect. This was built just before the invention of the flushing loo, but also it literally housed folks until 2002, even if they were not there when built, they were latterly fitted, there were toilets, it was a medical facility.

I find it odd that you can't understand why locals would graffiti these places. For the locals and Scotland as a whole, this wasn't a beautiful place, it was a place of torture. It was a medical facility where many people, who these days would receive help to live in the community at home with their families, would have been permanently institutionalised alone and subject to abuse and neglect. It has a shameful history and is a blot on Scotland. It should be completely torn down. The hospital's medical director, Alasdair Sim, said in 1986 he had "never worked in a worse pit". Hughie McIntyre was adopted as a baby but later his adoptive parents sent him to Lennox Castle and he never saw them again. "I didn't know why I was there, or what I did to deserve this," he says. "No-one came to see me. I had no family or friends." Hughie says he had no idea how he would ever be let out of the hospital. "I was in there for 16 years," he says. "I lost the will to survive. It's scary coming back into this place. "I remembered my life in there. I was tortured: beaten, kicked, heavily punched and I had severe injuries. I get nightmares thinking about it." The ruins of Lennox Castle cast a haunting shadow on the landscape and our social history. Though the institution gone, its past remains deeply embedded in the memories of patients and staff brave enough to share their experiences to help shape a better future for social care.

[@urbaxvibes]

The graffiti in places like this has nothing to do with its history.

[@RemyAlphaElite]

Shame these weren't kept up better.

[@jsmurd]

@urbaxvibes I agree with you about using Sony cameras. Mine have never failed. I don’t know about taking a $6,000 camera into ruins like that.

[@aruithdearg76]

Lennox Castle was a psychiatric hospital and a notorious one at that. There's nothing nice about it. A friend was placed there when training as a nurse and had to request a change of placement due to what she witnessed. Many patients were very badly treated. It finally closed in 2002. This is not a very old castle either in comparison with most in Scotland

[@cconwell21]

So at 19:03 there was a person passing the front door outside in a red jacket who was that?

I would not like to have your job. It’s very dangerous, so be careful when you do these things. I know you already are being careful bud. Be extra careful around things like this.

Hey guys, it's not Bob wire, it's barbed wire or barb wire. I used to think the same thing. You two are too daring Please be safe.
