So @Brewtal beat me to it with his report, so a lot of shots even though we were in separate areas when taking them, have turned out very similar lol...
History stolen from @Brewtal ;-)
Kirkcaldy Burgh Council acquired the c.1860s Jacobean style villa, Forth Park House, in the 1930's. In 1937 the house was converted into administration offices and a nurses’ home for the new 30‑bed maternity hospital constructed on the site by Williamson & Hubbard. The principal elevation of the hospital was designed in keeping with the style of the existing house. It was extended by the South East Regional Hospitals Board in 1966 with a simple but decent new block, if somewhat over-scaled by comparison with the house, which was retained for office accommodation. Forth Park House was vacated in 2001 following concerns over its structural stability. Since then the building has been empty. Planning permission was granted for redeveloping the site in 2011. The remainder of the site closed in 2012 and has remained empty since. Planning permission was granted for another development project in April 2019
The explore
Completed this over 2 visits, and had great fun both times, especially on exiting both times hahaha!
The mansion house was our first visit and had some nice bits! Including an incubator in the canteen of all places. I definitely need to invest in a good torch though!!
