Abandoned Hartwood Hospital 2011 HD - Urbex Derelict Explore Abandoned Scotland

[roddyk05]

They certainly don't build them like that any more! Lovely looking building, I'm sure the pigeons appreciate those high abandoned towers to roost in.

[SerenityCrysweet]

so beautiful and the music fits wonderfully god bless you keep them coming .

[candyqueenify]

these videos are depressing and sad but i love the videos so much but they make me cry

[PainInTheAssKid97]

Hospitals are the fucking worst, me and a few buddies went to one about a year or two ago, the floor was littered with old IV bags, there were dirty hospital beds, wheelchairs, dirty, damp old rags and dark long hallways. Good on you for having the strength to explore, mate.

[nir560]

This is a unique and beautiful building. Why don't they restore it instead of spending £15m to restore that ugly concrete building 'St. Peter's seminary' in Cardonald ?

[SteamboatWilley]

I recall doing a survey job around Hartwood hospital, I think it was in 2002 or 2003. Fascinating place, I just wish i had the time to have a look around inside.

[PinkStupidity]

Hey sorry I took so long to get bavk to you. {People were harassing me on here and I had to make all my videos private. I haven't logged in in ages. Anyway, I just saw your video here. That is awesome!! Thanks so much for sending me alink to it. Sorry about typos. I cut my finger, lol Anyway, that was really creepy but fascinating at the same time. What is a boiler house?

[kirstyghost02]

[klayzoso]

Excellent camera work. You have very good film making skills. Very cool place!

[agibsonallan]

Fantastic vid beautifully done, have you done the home just down the road

[AbandonedScotland]

@agibsonallan We had a quick look but we'll hopefully get a revisit at some point in the future!

[justinwester1]

good job

[KBSProductionCompany]

I have to say your shots beautiful. I love every video. I'm jealous, yours are so much better than mine haha

[worldbmx]

I don't understand why people just leave these buildings behind and start something new :O

[Lumdatalbahn]

your vid says, waht you feel. great job. But the people in the data center(s) with their balance sheets often reach different conclusions to incomprehensible.

A future as a hotel for this building?

[InsaneCoasterPOVs]

You got great camera skills!

[AbandonedScotland]

@InsaneCoasterPOVs Thanks :)

[dragonflyNI]

thats really well made!

[AbandonedScotland]

@dragonflyNI Thanks really appreciate you saying so :)

[172Break]

There are tunnels under the whole hospital complex. Did you find any of the entrances? It would be interesting to see what's now lurking under there!

[AbandonedScotland]

@172Break Unfortunately we didn't 172Break, do you remember any of the entrances to the tunnels by any chance?

[172Break]

I worked there 22 years ago. This is the first time I've seen the place since I left - and it was a shock!

The reason that nothing has been done to the site is because the buildings are listed as being historically important. It is illegal to do anything to them without planning consent. There have been a few developers interested in taking over the site. However, I believe the plans fell through because the buildings would have to be restored - at a huge cost.

[AbandonedScotland]

@172Break Yeah the building is amazing though, the two clock towers are stunning. It's a real shame that the floors of the main building and left tower have fallen in otherwise I think it would have been saved.

[weisseradler01]

excellent video very well filmed and great work - I enjoyed watching it very much ...

[AbandonedScotland]

@weisseradler01 Glad you enjoyed it :)

[hatsan38]

great footage mate!!

[glenzboyz]

Well done my friend brilliant video !

[AbandonedScotland]

@glenzboyz Thanks for saying so :)

[soulflypie]

I've done work with abandoned sites but never created a narrative visual essay of a particular site--this is beautifully done. Additionally it sounds as if you've used your own music composition to accompany this? Altogether impressive! Thanks for publishing! ^_^/

[AbandonedScotland]

@soulflypie The music wasn't done by me although I agree it is beautiful, you should check out Hammock if you like the track.

[romanobritish]

I always love to see video or pictures of abandoned building allot are very beautiful and sad too see them with no life of people. I have been to some and always wounder what it was like when it was alive.

Very nice.

[TheSquashedfrogg]

Not bad ;)

Give me shout if you fancy returning. There's another building next to it that is worth a  venture.

[intergroovy]

Great stuff thanks for shareing Keep up the good work =)

[McDaidUSA]

Is this like in America where abandonment is due to economic decline?

[AbandonedScotland]

@McDaidUSA It's a mix of economic decline but also generally the buildings purpose becoming redundant.

[larrythelookout]

Loved this video. love these places.

[AntiquityEchoes]

I'm so jealous of your locations over there! I wish I could see them!

-Christina

[Gigagannet]

Excellent video. Love seeing all about the past. Well Edited, a pleasure to watch. Well Done!

[sherrbear926]

I love this! This video is wonderful... just a piece of history! Makes a person think, what it was like then!

[Pianopod]

Beautiful video! Quite sad really to see such a beautiful building fall in to disrepair.

[ThePanzerWarMachine]

I once was in an Abanded Hostital that was abandend in 1975. it was soo scary to see all of the Stuff such as beds, Sheets and Matarial left un toutched after people had suddenly left? I have enver been to the U.K or Scotland before but it is deffinatly on my '' To Do List ''.

[YOZcreative]

Amazing, they way you share the video is very artistic made. Always found abandoned places fashninated somehow!

[MartyCortez]

Fantastic video.....haunting

[wwwfarlakescom]

great vid

[TeEnZiE]

awesome vid, really well done!

[AbandonedScotland]

@TeEnZiE Thanks TeEnZiE, I see you've been looking around abandoned places in Scotland as well, some great vids :)

[PropagandaBuster]

This video is a work of art. Had da Vinci been alive today, this is what he would have created.

[LordChris74]

This has to be by far the bast UE video iv seen, love every bit of it, well done :)

[onlywhenpissed]

@LordChris74 Best in the UK, if not the world.

[Horacechicken]

Sorry, missed a bit - these buildings are not easy to convert to alternative use, and many of them are in remote areas. The only one I'm aware of being re-developed is the Holloway Sanitorium, but greed talks - part of it has become very des-res apartments in a staggeringly expensive area of Britain. And that, bearing in mind what it was, makes me REALLY uncomfortable. Believe me, this has more dignity somehow.

[Horacechicken]

You're welcome - thanks for the pics!

You're right, it's kind if beyond redemption. I'm kind of ambivalent, in some ways I think these buildings should be preserved (although I know something about the engineering and construction of them; my Pa is a top banana engineer who was heavily involved in them, not cos I'm clever!) yet in other ways they are the epitome of wasted lives, sometimes for the weakest reasons. Perhaps it's right they go they way of so many of the lives within. Difficult one.

[Horacechicken]

Very clever - I really like the juxtaposition of stills/video effect; the little touches of animation to an otherwise completely still scene really underline how nature is reclaiming what's left of these buildings, yet somehow even in this sad state they retain a sense of serene grandiosity; a total domination of the landscape. Beautifully done, and the music is a great choice. Thank you.

[AbandonedScotland]

@Horacechicken Thanks really appreciate the comment, it's an amazing place that unfortunately will probably be left until it crumbles.

[serindipity10]

This video is so very haunting yet beautiful, a sense of sadness at the abandoned buildings with such character and amazing architect . Thank-you from a fellow Scot for posting such interesting videos, have a good day , hugs Kira x

[bradster59]

awesome video guys the music creates a errie calm and sense of awe :)

[jtcolfax]

beautiful

[youtoubakias]

And they have abantoned this only because of the fire? seems strange to me! do you think this place its haunted? Cool video beautifull.

[AbandonedScotland]

@youtoubakias It could be haunted it has been there since Victorian times and had several patients over the years, it was abandoned before the fire. The NHS decided it was no longer needed and closed it unfortunately.

[xxxTENSAIxxx]

great vid!

[alicedoesdaydream]

do you have these pictures somewhere? ie flikr?

[AbandonedScotland]

@alicedoesdaydream Hey I do have a flickr, I haven't managed to get the pictures up yet but I promise i'll get the ones from the video up soon! Check out our facebook "abandoned scotland" if you want to check out some more pictures from the explore that day in the mean time :)

[alicedoesdaydream]

faultless video, fantastic, so glad I watched it- 1.55 is a perfect shot!

[kirstyghost02]

great place and well presented video. looks like there would be a few ghosts hanging around

[WizardSmoker]

WOW! amazing video gave me the goosebumps haha

Amazing building amazing pictures

[coffycup75]

These images are so haunting. Very, very sad.

[LongLiveTheLegacy]

A lot of memories and history lost in there, building could of been put to better use than let it fall into ruin.

[w4mms]

Great video!

[evper]

Great Video!

[LindaONYT]

Wonderful... Can I say ...beautiful??? Don't know how can I find beauty on this sort of stuff. Greetings from California.

[TheFringefilms]

Great work, we love it



[Bhil3]

Wow, what a cool video! I really enjoyed it,  invited my wife to watch it with me also. Great job!

[wizardsbane]

I wish I had good areas to explore around here. When something falls out of use it isn't long before contractors seal up the area (meaning that I would have to commit a B&E to do anything) :[

[gr8fzy1]

That's sad...those lamps purchase and installed in memorium to those staffers lost in the war...and now they too lay forgotten. Not just the lamps, but the people as well...

[DobbyJunior]

Beautiful, haunting video! You've inspired me to make a playlist involving abandoned places.

[wildphoenix1984]

How gorgeous and yet how very lonely.

(I'm from Walsall! Well, Willenhall, but close enough! Three cheers for the dying metalwork industry!)

[trainmasta227]

Roof cave in?

[AbandonedScotland]

@trainmasta227 Yeah it has on the left tower and the middle part of the main building.

[baywindowsbus]

Awesome video....and great music....thumbs up!!



[colinmcrae09]

[captainkurk]

Gorgeous campus. The architecture is amazing. I would love to see a horror movie filmed there. Or, make my own...

[333AmPara]

I wish I wasnt in the US Ahhhh Dang it

[333AmPara]

Wow I want to go!!!

[AGDemo]

Very Nice!

[BattleM012]

Very nice :)

It's sad that an old hospital with so much history is ignored and left abandoned.

[WillowCreekPictures]

Interesting video, loved the shots used and the music worked well with the visuals.

[Andre00x]

I wish there would have been more wide shots...

[Oochia]

a really interesting video :) out of interest, is it legal to explore these kind of places?

[AbandonedScotland]

@Oochia It's not illegal to trespass in Scotland, this might be different for other countries. Although obviously any form of breaking and entering would be a criminal offence.

[logolou]

Fascinating I love these kind of videos

[herd123]

Damn this makes me jealous xD

Because its so cool location to shoot a movie and urbex

In the netherlands when something is abandoned for like one week it gets demoslihed to the ground -.- Great video :) keep it up

[whitezombie93]

awesome video, could you get access to the clock towers?

[AbandonedScotland]

@whitezombie93 The floors had fallen in on the left hand clock tower and the middle building, the right hand tower you could get access to but due to the weather we left it this time.

[rickvanman]

Quite sad that such a building should be abandoned and left to ruin like that. great video!

[AbandonedScotland]

@rickvanman Yeah it's a shame, the clock towers are brilliant as well ... just a shame the architecture isn't as appreciated these days.

[quicksilver3x3]

Really interesting, with all that must have gone on in there, and to just be abandoned and left to deteriorate like that. Thanks for the description and the perfect music too...excellent videography.

[AbandonedScotland]

@quicksilver3x3 Thanks, yeah it's such a shame an amazing building like this can just be left to rot.

[JasGCOPS]

AWESOME video, my friends :O)

[Dunollieman]

Great videography, 5*****. If these walls could talk eh?  Scotty (Iowa USA)

[FalconGhia]

Beautiful video and images! The hospital was abandoned back in 1998 because it caught fire or it was already abandoned from before?

Greetings

[AbandonedScotland]

@FalconGhia It was already abandoned before it caught fire, the NHS decided it was no longer required due to alot of patients being cared for in the community. The building was used as a studio for Lanarkshire TV for a while as well.

[chtitaupe]

great vidéo !!! 5/*****

[DoYuBelieve]

This is great! We always enjoy watching videos of places we've been to in the past to see how they have changed. Brings back memories for us. Nice one!

[btlim5163]

It's a beautiful but also sad video! Thanks for sharing!

[HazelAgnes48]

Another interesting video, especially as I used to work at Craig Dunain psychiatric hospital in Inverness, but it was many, many years ago. It is now abandoned and has since been set fire to but I have watched some videos of it. I took one myself but it was only from the outside as it was boarded up. Brought back a lot of memories just the same. Keep up the good work, glad I found your channel.

Hazel

[AbandonedScotland]

@HazelAgnes48 I heard Craig Dunain is being tunred into flats, would like to see it before thats been done!
