Exploring an Abandoned Scottish Hospital with Working Power

[@russellquinlan9314]

I see the local paper is upset !! My god they must be short of news, these guys make really interesting videos and show us what some of these lovely old buildings look like now and how they have been allowed to fall into disrepair. Keep at it guys !

[@pamelaadam9207]

The local paper is a no think tabloid trump supporting rag.

[@othergeorgea]

That’s scotland for you lmao

[@ApollodoraTheExplora]

I walk past this building every day and I’ve always wanted to see inside it. It makes me so sad to think of such a lovely building sitting empty all the time. So nice to see the inside. Thanks guys!!!

[@Urbandoned]

No problem, glad we helped your curiosity

I looked this video up exactly for this reason!!

I used to work in reception on the ground floor before it closed. For a good few years the only clinic left running was the Ear Clinic on the top floor before it got moved to ARI. We were glad as a lot of patients struggled to get up the 3 flights stairs and the only lift broke so easily because people kept driving their massive mobility scooters inside despite us warning them not to. 6:38 is the break/staff room. 13:03 is the main reception area, lift was to the right.

[@tomypower4898]

Yes...what?

[@mook16v]

Proper trip down memory lane there! There used to be the old STI clinic where you had to queue outside as it first come first serve, always used to laugh at the guys standing outside looking sheepish until I ended up in the queue! 😂

[@JamienM]

Yep! The queue of shame

[@Urbandoned]

Glad our video brought back those memories :)

[@louisdoyle8373]

The fact your talking from experience is both worrying and hilarious

[@stoneauthor]

They used to lock the doors at lunchtime and the queue would reform in the afternoon. I'm certain that's why they moved from the top floor to ground. 😂

[@levaaaaaanah]

Soo spooky in there! AMASING footage!! Really eerie atmospheric n abandoned...🥰

[@alicesoulsby]

Really interesting to see.I had been there as a medical student. The stickers you thought were post it notes are in fact stickers from hearing aid batteries and the things you thought might be waiting rooms in the radiology dept will be changing rooms for patients before their x-ray. Thanks for the video.

[@Urbandoned]

We’re happy you liked the video - thanks for the info too :)

[@stoneauthor]

Woolmanhill is a blast from the past, old A&E department that closed in 79, inpatient beds till 1999. Clinics for ENT, eyes, audiology, GU Medicine, then slowly wound down and closed. The whole place suffered due to the wind down, maintenance ignored and fell onto disrepair. Hoping they manage to keep some of the architectural details of the inside especially the staircase under the dome in the Simpson Pavilion.

[@keithmacfarlane7092]

The room with the battery stickers on the wall is not a consultants room. It was the repairs room, where the folk of Aberdeen would come to collect batteries, have impressions of the ear taken, etc. A really cramped space to do the work. Thanks for the video.

[@KarellKing]

Mid-2024 and it's sitting in a state. It's such a shame and such a waste. Cool video lads.

[@mylesbradbury6339]

I really love what you do. I'm a young explorer (15) and I love taking photos inside abandoned buildings and your videos give me a lot of motivation

[@Iain1983]

Used to take a patient here for the hearing clinic, crazy how much it has decayed,amazing building with such great history.

[@Urbandoned]

It’s a fascinating structure - and we agree - over a couple years of abandonment decay has really settled in.

[@lizzieburton5276]

Wow guys i was on the edge of my seat watching that!!. I was so hoping you didn't get seen. Well done for dodging security! Fascinating explore, hospitals are one of my favourites to watch. To stumble across working equipment made it all the more exciting and eery!! Thanks for another superb explore guys. Hope you are all managing to stay safe x

[@jackkd9434]

There's an abandoned building near me called St Peter's seminary, honestly it is one of the most impressive building in the world, with quite a bit of history as well

[@FlickeringEmber]

I've seen some amazing drone footage of it.

[@pamelaadam9207]

Goodness another memory. I did my St Andrews ambulance cadet training in that building. Also did a bit of nurse training in a clinic there

[@bigboi181989]

Hi there I was one of the people who emptied out the hospital in 2017 at that time it was only one building that was used we took all of the furniture ie beds and the likes to woodhill hospital the chairs weren’t taken because of the lack of use for for them at the other side due to there being chairs there already. It’s very interesting what it looks like now cheers

[@Urbandoned]

Glad you enjoyed our coverage 👍🏼

[@MrNooneseesme]

one of your riskier visits from what Ive seen of your vids so far. You did well not to get caught. A great exterior design and I fear that will be absolutely trashed in the redevelopment, leaving only the dome in some zooped up form remaining in the new monstrosity. It amazing how fast the decay sets in. Good that you were able to visit, its great to see inside these abandoned places

[@Urbandoned]

Thank you, it was a tricky one to manage especially when our plan went out the window

[@searchfield]

This was interesting to watch, thank you! It's cool that workers being there was to your advantage! I wondered if they had turned off the alarms before you mentioned it. The little tiny rooms in the x-ray department are for outpatients to undress before their x-rays and then dress again afterwards. In the Bristol Royal Infirmary there are two little booths like that with doors on both sides(one inside and one outside the x-ray room) so that one patient can enter and undress whilst the previous patient is still dressing - this speeds up time between patients so they can get as many x-rays done per day as possible.

[@Urbandoned]

Glad you enjoyed it, no problem! Luck was definitely on our side with this visit.

[@bobbythomas200420032]

Another excellent video guys well filmed and that along with the photographs really captured the buuildfing really well. What a lovely old building.

[@johndixon3987]

Have recently found your videos. They are really interesting. And as good as many documentaries. I like your comments. It just shows the biggest vandals are the ones who abandon these places. ..schools..erc. all that valuable equipment and books and hard work cast aside .they say there is no money around. Your filming is sometime the only good thing that comes out of this neglect.well done.

[@wendymclean49]

Nice one, interesting watch , I use to take residents here for hearing tests when I worked in a care home in Aberdeen, I never got to see round the other departments which I suppose would have been a weird thing to do when the place was open lol a trip round a working hospital does not sound like a fun day out but this with it being abandoned is fascinating , all the history etc. Well done guys

[@lee2217]

Nice explore That was good of them to switch of the alarms

[@Urbandoned]

Very much so :)

[@1599maybole]

We walk past it every week, thanks for this!

These places remind me of my hospital experiences (not this hospital) when I was a child. the high windows and ceilings and those radiators...those corridors always give me the creeps. Wonderful video as always x

[@spookyexplores936]

I was one of the last patients to receive physiotherapy there. The hospital is a labyrinth. Fantastic set of buildings, what a waste its empty though!

This is amazing guys! Always been interested how this looked inside

[@tomypower4898]

yes.

[@WillC1528]

Brilliant video! It would be amazing if you could get access to the old Tynecastle High School in Edinburgh. It was closed shortly after I left school in the early 2000’s. The new one was built opposite it in McLeod Street. I’d love to see what it looks like inside now. If they’ve just abandoned it, leaving everything inside intact. It’s a listed building, so I don’t think it’ll be demolished.

[@jojoxx2246]

Love all these Aberdeen videos

[@Urbandoned]

Good to hear :)

[@TheHaggisBasher]

1:32 dude you took the hardest way in and nobody is watching the cameras on that site I was in it yesterday, shimmy the white door next to you with a coat hanger or go around the corner and roll under the fence. protip: use a styrofoam board to get past pir's, there are other methods such as signal jammers and tapping the landline with 5volts but that is beyond urbexing and more into getting lifted and having a night in klinky town. do not vandalise, leave nothing but footprints.

[@adamrenwick4124]

Another fantastic video :) just wish they was longer haha leaves me wanting more 😄

[@ForgottenBuildings]

Good video once again! Really love those old school pre war hospitals.

[@KeithHambidge]

Great video guys abandoned hospitals alwAys make for some great explores Given the level of decay I would say the building was under maintained prior to closure

[@Urbandoned]

Thank you mate, I agree until 2017, the buildings that had formerly shut must have been maintained

Hi Guy’s great video once again!! I love the decaying paint coming off walls/ ceilings and the chair was perfect especially to see it was still working It’s a pity you didn’t explore more to other rooms to the dome building would have been brilliant try see but knowing the fact work men where on site and having to deal with not knowing the alarming through out the site Also history of the buildings was fantastic to hear and photos were fantastic 👍😊

Those workers are the asbestos removal lot hence the plastic protective environment. They have to strip out all of that before conversion work can start

[@krashd]

Peter Mullan isn't heading up the asbestos removal crew is he? Because that would make a great movie.

[@dawnmaclean1268]

Walk past this every day, and can confirm electric has never been off. There have been a couple of lights left on since it closed.

[@Urbandoned]

Thank you! I think being security is a tough job, especially on such a huge building with many blind spots.

[@JustMe-tb9yi]

Sorry i can not agree. Yes security work hard. No sensors/alarms should be switched off. If that had been kids in the building anything could have happened to them. They should have done a sweep of the building at least. Security is not just protect. Its safety too.

[@fentonhall5067]

I was here yesterday, however I only managed to get inside of the exterior basement. Me and a few of my friends are thinking on going back to the hospital, but I believe it is now under control by Aberdeen City Council and Police Scotland, meaning getting caught would be devastating. Everything’s boarded up, more than double the amount in this video. There is a door in which I believe a few of us could slip under to get inside of the court area. Now you’ve brought it to my attention of the motion sensors. Do you think they still work and if so what’s my best plan of escape, should I hide there and hope the police do not come and attempt to find us or should I get out of there as fast as possible?

[@switchart555]

motion sensors are off. Cameras, fire alarms and fire exits still work so be careful. Alarm only seems to work in the west building from my knowledge

[@fentonhall5067]

@@switchart555 Hey, thanks for letting me know. I’ve been in a few times now and I’ve only been caught once, luckily it was by council security rather than police. I managed to get through a diabetic-ward area, not too sure what side of the building it was at though. I got in through some broken door amongst wild bushes and near the electrical room. Pretty good but I won’t be back anytime soon as I’ve just found out the place was asbestos filled.

It only can I tell you what the workmen where doing. I can tell you the name of the guy you got on camera. I work for the company that was doing that work. Removing asbestos. You walked right past the decontamination unit. I also know the supervisor that was on site.Icky he’d didn’t see you.

[@IScreamer]

Very interesting. I was a patient for a few days there in my teens. I hit my head at school rugby practice and suffered amnesia. Still have no recollection of the event until I came to in the hospital bed. Also visited the emergency dept at an earlier age to have a fish bone removed from my throat. Finally, visited emergency again with my brother in my late teens for him to have a tick removed after a camping trip. They sent us upstairs to another department to get it removed and we must have taken a wrong turn and ended up in the VD clinic waiting room! A doctor in the VD clinic removed the tick.

[@Alanvids]

Do you guys consider that in many old buildings (most actually) there is asbestos?
