20 Scary Images of the Creepiest Asylum Ever Built

Hartwood Mental Hospital- Hartwood, Scotland

A 19th century psychiatric hospital with imposing twin clock towers is the main feature of the village. The hospital was overseen by medical superintendent, Dr. Archibald Campbell Clark and was involved in the inception of modern psychiatric therapies such as occupational therapy, ECT and industrial involvement. After it was closed in 1998, on the morning of June 28, 2004, a fire broke out destroying the building including the administration offices, dining hall and clock tower.  It was then used as a studio by Lanarkshire Television but Lanarkshire Television was closed down in 2002.
