View of main entrance. This place seems more like a country retreat than an insane asylum.

  That's horrid.

Poor fuckers!

  I kind of like it, it's infinitely preferable to the sterile blandness of the new Craig Dunain.

  Nope... Look again: lack of symmetry and every piece of furniture and ornamentation is on the offensive.

This would not be conducive to good mental health care, it's setting me on edge just looking at it.

What a mess!

  Looks like a skin?

  Would the patients be going through here though?

  Who said anything about the patients?
Posted by lost 8/19/2005 2:49 AM | remove
  No one. :-p But isn't good mental care usually for the patients?

  It starts with the staff. Look at the stats for nurse depression / suicide.

If you feel that way yourself: what hope have the patients?

  Good point. Maybe this was acceptable in 1900s Scottish asylums though...?

  Yeah, probably.

I think though, that corridor would knock me sick! :-s

  I think it appealed very much to the rich landlords who broughtin their "hysterical" family members here.

  with all the antlers and dark wood, it looks like a large "Man Room"; a "Man Hall" if you will; where guys would sit around, smoke cigars, and 99.9998% of words spoken would be total BS! *LOL* Only thing missing is a pool table and a bar.
