The remains of Hartwood Hospital, an 19th century psychiatric hospital with imposing twin clock towers, are the main feature of the village, even after its closure under the direction of the Lanarkshire Health Board in 1998. Like many other Victorian institutions in the area such as Gartloch Hospital, Stonyetts, Lennox Castle and Kirklands, the inception of the Community Care Act (1990) gave rise to a more community-based focus for long-term mental health care, and the consequent closure of long-term psychiatric hospitals.
The original hospital was overseen by Dr Archibald Campbell Clark, the medical superintendent, and was involved with the inception of modern psychiatric therapies such as occupational therapy, ECT and industrial involvement. In the hospital style of the time, Hartwood was entirely self-sustaining, with its own farm, gardens, reservoir, graveyard, staff houses, etc.

That place is not that scary ;) I was a security officer for nights up there for a long time and just once I noticed a ghost beetween towers :P
Gorgeous campus. The architecture is amazing. I would love to see a horror movie filmed there. Or, make my own...
New batman film has used it as Gotham asylum
i love the fan still turning on the roof its the only part of the building that's still alive
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.
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!
I found a way in tonight, took a walk through all the buildings! what a peice of history, mad to think this place was once a running business😞
Fantastic video....i also love your Music Choices.....
faultless video, fantastic, so glad I watched it- 1.55 is a perfect shot!
very atmospheric and i love it
Beautiful, haunting video! You've inspired me to make a playlist involving abandoned places.
I've done a video on this hospital recently and it's strange even to see how it's changed over 12 years, even less life than it had here. Buildings torn down, the signs gone, little of the interior left, even the goalposts gone!
I'm so jealous of your locations over there! I wish I could see them!

Fascinating I love these kind of videos
Love this, wonderful photos : )
Can't wait to watch your other vids.
Did this a few years ago. Was really good, got up the top of the tower then as we were heading to the old nurses block a guy with a very big dog chased us
During the 70s there were some good parties in the nurses residence. It was great man.
I can only imagine, did you work there?
No but some friends did.
Fantastic video.....haunting
Excellent video. Love seeing all about the past. Well Edited, a pleasure to watch. Well Done!
Exploring abandoned places is 1 of my passions so, I'm loving these! Thanx so much 4 the share, gr8 footage. Can't wait 2 see where u guys explore next & if I'm ever in Scotland, I'm looking u guys up ;-)!
Another cracking video. I bet the towers looked nice in their heyday. The plaque at the end should be saved by the local council as part of local history.
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.
@LukeAndJema Thanks glad you're enjoying them :)
Beautifully done!!!
Great work, we love it
@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.
Wonderful... Can I say ...beautiful??? Don't know how can I find beauty on this sort of stuff. Greetings from California.
This has to be by far the bast UE video iv seen, love every bit of it, well done :)
Called to it loads of times when i was in the Fire Service, didn't know it was abandoned to the elements, excellent video though, thanks.
Interesting video, loved the shots used and the music worked well with the visuals.
i take my hat off to ya m8 keep up the good work carnt w8 for the next new 1
You got great camera skills!
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.
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.

awesome video guys the music creates a errie calm and sense of awe :)
Went to hartwood hospital and nurses home? A couple of months ago with my family. There were a lot of old wheelchairs and debris lying around. It's so sad to see so much vandalism and damage to the buildings. It breaks my heart to see the condition the buildings are in. I just wish that someone could do something about it and maybe make something new out of it or rebuild it? But no one can access the building because of all the debris, vandalism and worn away floors ceilings and walls. What a shame.
i wouldnt want to rebuild or restore the site. i want to let it crumble in peace it is literally history preserved so that people can pass by it.
Amazing, they way you share the video is very artistic made. Always found abandoned places fashninated somehow!
Awesome Video. Watched it twice. Great Music.

@dragonflyNI Thanks really appreciate you saying so :)
This is over the top cool... Awesome thanks for sharing...
AWESOME video, my friends :O)
Great video!
Great Video!
awesome vid, really well done!
Very Nice!
@Horacechicken Thanks really appreciate the comment, it's an amazing place that unfortunately will probably be left until it crumbles.
amazing video
OMG this is sad! I have seen it 20 years ago. What a difference! What a shame! What a crime!
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.
We were there last night at 1am! Haha, place is surrounded by spiked metal fencing/padlocks the lot!
these videos are depressing and sad but i love the videos so much but they make me cry
great vid!
I worked here from 1979 until around 2005 , a great place to work. It had over 2000 beds and was the biggest hospital in Europe. 1st place in the world to run as a therapeutic community and to train nurses in mental health care. Happily modern treatments make hospitals this size obsolete. But (lack of) care in the community - epic fail !!!
@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.
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
beautiful
Quite sad that such a building should be abandoned and left to ruin like that. great video!
@TeEnZiE Thanks TeEnZiE, I see you've been looking around abandoned places in Scotland as well, some great vids :)
good job
there's a really old abandoned hospital in Irvine. Me and my friend was there yesterday. We found an entrance but we didn't go in because there was cops going around town looking for teens that were drinking. The place looks dead creepy. the locations of the hospital have been removed from google maps so this is where it is. Its on Sandy Road near ravenspark golf course. If you go out to sandy road you will see on the other side of the road you will see a building that kinda looks like its a nursery. Behind that is where the abandoned hospital is. You can't miss it, all the windows have been boarded up and it is HUGE.
Been to Hartwood a lot since it was abandoned, not as scary as it's made out to be but there is so much to be explored, I think every time I have went I have discovered something new. If you're looking for somewhere really creepy with the same heritage I'd definitely recommend Birkwood Hospital in Lesmahagow though.
Cheers mate will check out lesmahagow
I think all post apocalyptic films and media is interesting to explorers :)
This video is a work of art. Had da Vinci been alive today, this is what he would have created.
These videos make you think what went down in these places if it was helping people to people having fun and then just seeing them empty weeds growing over them very sad
great vid
great place and well presented video. looks like there would be a few ghosts hanging around
Wow, what a cool video! I really enjoyed it, invited my wife to watch it with me also. Great job!
@soulflypie The music wasn't done by me although I agree it is beautiful, you should check out Hammock if you like the track.
'Care In The Community' ; what a great idea that was...
The Boilerhouse was the main building that served the hospital's central heating system. The water in the boiler was heated by coal, and later gas, then circulated round the wards and departments.
@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 Glad you enjoyed it :)
@quicksilver3x3 Thanks, yeah it's such a shame an amazing building like this can just be left to rot.
great vidéo !!! 5/*****
I worked recently in the archives where I saw the registration books from Hartwood Hospital. I must say that in appearance this books fit the atmosphere of this place.
+Mike Larkson What Archives was that Mike? I'm sure everyone would love to have a look at them.
+Abandoned Scotland It was the archive of Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride. These registration books (and other books probably with a history of illness of patients) might have been moved there after the closure of the hospital in hartwood. Unfortunately, only the hospital staff have access to these documents.
+Mike Larkson Ahh that's a shame I'm sure a lot of people would like to see some of the more historical records.
Wow I want to go!!!
@agibsonallan We had a quick look but we'll hopefully get a revisit at some point in the future!
@falirakichick Hartwood has security guards, I think the entrance we entered with has no been sealed.
@InsaneCoasterPOVs Thanks :)
sad to see a once magnificent building in that state due to lack of security and vandals
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...
I went a trip up to hartwood hospital yesterday but the fences are all reinforced and the securety gaurd aproached us before we even got to the building and told us that if we took pictures he would phone the police. Later on we bumped into him again though and had a nice chat with him and he agreed to let us take pictures. I was wondering though where you guys aproached by the securety guard? and did you find the hidden grave yard? we walked for ages but never found it.
@McDaidUSA It's a mix of economic decline but also generally the buildings purpose becoming redundant.
Not bad ;)
Give me shout if you fancy returning. There's another building next to it that is worth a venture.
Thanks for commenting Altea9, you must have some interesting stories from working there? I can imagine it being spooky if there weren't many people there. Did you realise they were running out of money before it was official?
@trainmasta227 Yeah it has on the left tower and the middle part of the main building.
@glenzboyz Thanks for saying so :)
Haha yeah I can understand how it must be at night, it really is a great place to visit the two towers are really unique to the place.
Beautiful video and images! The hospital was abandoned back in 1998 because it caught fire or it was already abandoned from before?
Greetings
awesome video, could you get access to the clock towers?
@HazelAgnes48 I heard Craig Dunain is being tunred into flats, would like to see it before thats been done!
Fun fact it is now being used as a set for the latest batman film (I live nearby
How gorgeous and yet how very lonely.
(I'm from Walsall! Well, Willenhall, but close enough! Three cheers for the dying metalwork industry!)
what a beautiful building. such a waste/shame
Was there a week or so ago, brilliant place.
Shame that a large portion of the building has fallen subject to vandalism and fire damage, the insides and the main hallways are far more cluttered now than they are in this video, almost 3 years ago.
Crazy to see buildings like this rot to nothing.
How do you get into Hartwood, I live not far from it and went up a few days ago and circled it twice and found no around/under/over the fence??
There is a hole under the fence to the right hand side looking down the way.
Also, you can climb over the fence at the gate at the back left looking down the hill, or be fortunate enough to slip through the gap like I was.
Hope this helps
The gate with the big pole jammed into it? And cheers man il possibly take a look today! :)
It may have a big pole jammed into it?
It has been a good month or so since I was last there so I really only remember how I got in and not much about what was there, other than the big building ... sort of a given
That's no problem either haha
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) :[
i like :)
@rickvanman Yeah it's a shame, the clock towers are brilliant as well ... just a shame the architecture isn't as appreciated these days.
is it really heavily fenced off? or fairly easy to have a look round the grounds?
my dad used to drive trains through hartwood years ago and said it was the train station there that the escaped patients used to run to commit suicide :/
@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.
When did this close down. I had a distant cousin, died in there in 1933.
