Report - Midlothian & Peebles County Asylum - Rosslynlee

[daleboy]

Ok, yes its been done to death. Yes its been around for years. Yes its looking a bit worse for wear these days. After an impromptu visit the other day, I was coerced into re-editing my old photos of the place. 900+ of them, I whittled down to around 100 or so for Flickr. Here are a selection of them. Taken from just prior to closure - right up to date.

The history has been done to death before as well, so just enjoy the pics

Approaching from the rear

Even the Garden furniture was still set out in those early days

Those beautiful glass corridors.... (that little summerhouse thing is still there today)

Such a gorgeous building

A quick visit to the mortuary (before it got smashed to pieces by the local youths)

Just a small fridge (the slab room was turned into a staff room in the mid 80s)

Those corridors from the inside ...

jesus they have really cleaned that up from last year when me and @Brewtal went. I use to live 10 mins from here so me and my flat mate would walk the dogs here every night. Ended up getting to know the security guard and he let us in one night for a look (Also helped that he liked a smoke) have you seen the development plans? place is gonna look stunning. Will get my report done of the place soon, i have photos spanning over 2 years upto summer last year. they had a cool street at the top where the nurses stayed will try dig out the photos.
