The shameful legacy of the former Lennox Castle Hospital

[@jenwebster1744]

Whilst the subject matter of this is harrowing the value that is given to the voice of the learning disabled community in this video is empowering and many thanks to those who made it possible. May we learn to value these voices and these stories in our wider society, however uncomfortable they make us feel, that we never let what happened at Lennox Castle repeat itself. Open minds, open eyes, open ears, open hearts, open dialogue x

I applaud the makers of this film and particularly those brave enough to revisit the times there that they’d rather forget. I think the truth of what happened at places like this has yet to surface and when it does, I hope that some closure is provided to the victims of there. Not patients. They were victims failed by a system that put care on the back burner.

I think people don't realise how large the Hospital was just looking at the castle ruins. You can see it on the map they showed all the old villas (wards) throughout the grounds.

I did like the videos hard to watch yes but hoping more truth will come out one day and maybe folk can learn from what mistakes were made here hope you do many follow ups no good comes from sweeping things under the caroet best of luck to whoever finds out more and good luck to those who made it out of that place not the castle its self but was it not the case many were kept in tin huts or was i miss infirmed

Why lie about Lennox castle..I was placed in there because I had a mental health issue.. there were rules to follow.. everyone got the same Jag that reduced me to a zombie I couldn't even recognise my parents for 2 weeks.. there were sections for male and female..we weren't cattle..we were patients.. it was a hospital not a prison..I don't get nightmares..I grew up and moved forward..I don't dwell on the past..I look to the future
