Broomhill is a typical example of a country house becoming a hospital which seemed to be in vogue in the first half of the 20th Century. The main house survives with wings on both sides making up wards and nurses accommodation.
The frontage of the hospital is a rather grand stone affair, not dis similar to St Georges in Stafford. Despite being an attractive well built building, I have always found the building to look rather grim and sombre.
The hospital may look good on the outside, but the interior is in appalling condition, with many collapses from loft to ground floor. Despite this Speed and I managed to see most of the wards and departments, climb up to the tower via the original house's servants quarters and make our way through to the nurses accommodation.
Despite collapse and neglect for over ten years, I rate Broomhill as one of the best hospital explores in the Glasgow area and well worth a visit.
