Rosylynlee Hospital aka: Midlothian and Peebles Asylum This place is probably known to alot of people as 'the one which got away' being in Rural Scotland and quite heavily guarded it was always difficult to give multiple attempts at. Now on July 15th a fire destroyed the majority of the...

Roslin Glen Carpet Factory I’ve found some conflicting historical records online regarding the history of this site. A lot of amateur/local history articles online and I can’t really find a conclusive timeline. The main building has the date “1951” on it so I’m assuming this was a...

Went here last November, didn’t get into much of the main building but managed to access the morgue, chapel of rest, work shop and a few others. Apparently it’s to be turned into flats though not sure when. Glad we got to visit this one. Thanks for looking. History- Rosslynlee Hospital was a...

Fantastic wee hospital! The place was built in 1922 and at the outbreak of WW2 assisted the RAF base nearby. After the war it converted to a tuberculosis sanitorium but as cases of TB in Scotland started to drop it was decided to be used as a clinic to help the mentally handicapped from the mid...

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...

Rosslynlee has always been high on my list when I've gone back up north to see my folks over the past few years. It's been quiet for so long because of the live in security. Knowing the development is due to start soon I have been on a mission to cover the whole place and give the crusty old...

After reading Chiroptera's report on this, I knew I had to go here... After all, it was a psychiatric hospital.. it was old.. it looked beautiful and more importantly..it was closed :) Rosslynlee Hospital was founded in 1874 under its original name of Midlothian and Peebles Asylum (1874 -...
