A quick visit by TheSurveyor and I, didn't get internal shots of the Hospital itself as this wasn't planned and I don't know access points but have interior shots of some of the Staff Houses. Feel free to chuck in the bin if it's not of interest though :)
Nicked the hubbies camera and the flash gun so apologies if anything is a bit uber bright as this was the first time I'd used one.
A little history.
The original building was built in 1900 and started its life as Nordrach on Dee Hospital, a sanctuary for tuberculosis patients. When TB died down it served as a luxury hotel (when it became "Glen O' Dee"), but was taken over during the war to serve as a billet for troops. It reprised its role in contagious diseases when the typhoid epidemic hit nearby Aberdeen in the 1960s, but its last use was as a residential home for the elderly. The original building closed in 1998, when a new purpose built building was built on the same site.
The original building has been featured on the BBC's Restoration programme, but it has sat empty and deteriorating since 1998.
