    Default Report: Glen O Dee Hospital / Banchory / 20.03.2013

    I have had a look around this building years ago when it was still in use as staff quarters, but after in was closed access wasn't possible, until now.
    The damage caused by water, vandals & theft is enormous.
    The basement is completely flooded, the floors & stairs are rotten and the external timber is almost at the point of collapse.
    Many of the original very nice features have been smashed including a large amount of the stained glass windows & panels.
    I won't bore you with the history as it's already been covered in other posts.
    It's my first report on here - be gentle !

    The exterior - rotten timber.

    The canteen / dining room


    The staff quarters


    The ladder up to the water tower, someone has turned the ladder to make climbing it immpossible - it looked dodgy anyway


    One of many corridors


    One of the stairwells - the stairs are in very poor condition


    Didn't try this puzzle


    Saw a few of these - no idea what they are !


    The recreation centre once housed a large library, all the shelving has been smashed & the books are all in a soggy, moudly heap - quite sad


    At least the record player was still there


    Schoolboy error ! Should have photographed this the other way round


    One of only a few unbroken stained glass windows


    Still some original features remain


    There was a few small keys hanging in odd places around the hospital



    Always need a chair shot


    Hope you enjoy these photos - thanks

    Nice report! The object appears to be a whisk attachment for a freestanding mixer (like a KitchenAid)

    Real shame to see how this place has declined over the past few years, but at least you managed to see it before it finally collapses in a big rotten heap… We had fun while we were there, the nurses from the old folks' accommodation at the back stand right beside the derelict building on their fag break, we could eavesdrop and hear every word.
