    My daughter’s great aunt was put in Lennox Castle age 15 because she ran away as a teen and misbehaved. Probably the result of her mum passing. She was released when she was in her forties. Margaret was not mentally ill or had deficits when she was institutionalised but she did on release. I wonder if that is the teen you were talking about. My daughter’s gran and family visited her regularly. She was very much loved.

      That's horrendous. Trouble is there were so many women it happened too for simply being rebellious. Baby out of wedlock and the woman got locked up, the man left free to continue on with his life without consequence. Even in the 80s single mums got all the abuse especially in the newspapers. Such a different world now.

    I really enjoyed this History Hit documentary. Those professors with their authorative and informed arguments make for a riveting and absorbing discussion of some of the Middle Ages most obscure periods. Whilst I am unsure what "bell end" means and why Professor Al always needs a proper haircut, their dramatic telling of Scotlands darkest epoch remains a true master class in documentary TV.

    Norton’s building references are amazing, considering he always looks like he’s just stepped off a building site.

    And Lloydy looks like the child no mother would admit to giving birth to.

    As a scottish person that lives in a "village" is basically a town but doesnt have all the requirements to be one.
    In summer i can hear cows screaming for no bloody reason while im trying to sleep at 2 am. And theres ruins from the 1800s tumbled down massive houses. Why do the fireplaces always stay intact and nothing else? When i was a moody teen i use to sit on a old farmers tumbled down fireplace. Looked like a stone arch way but must have been such a wee cosy farm house back when built. I use to love climbing over fences into feilds and finding streams, river and abandoned places. Thats why i love you guys so much.

    I remember visiting this place with my mate Jimmy in the late 90s (I think about then)
    It was about when the area was about to be developed.
    You could drive up to it nearly. You could still see the white tiles on the surgical areas and the occasional gurney and various other bits of furniture lying around the outside. We didn't know anything about the history at the time (pre Internet), but the place had a real spoopy vibe to it.
    Mostly because it was dusk, but mostly because of the creepy security guard following us about.

    There's sites like this all over Scotland, most of them knocked down(for good reason) but I can tell you for a fact that what used to go on inside them was absolutely ghoulish and inhuman. The stories you can still hear in Scotland from like 3rd hand historical accounts just leaves no words to be said. The understanding of mental issues back in the day was lacking to say the least and they actually buried people and sometimes children close by to these absolute shitholes, a lot of people didn't leave these asylums except in a body bag.

    the nurse houses were separate from the hospital! in a place now called ovaltown just below the castle on the campsie side. this hospital used to house the most dangerous people!

    Great video as always guys, I must admit Norton has a point about the steps were they made to measur/order, also what size were the people that built it, look at the size of each brick, then there was that window, I believe giants built these beautiful buildings, I mean check the size of the weight used for the lift. @15.39 we can't because giants did the building. ❤❤❤
