Gartloch Asylum Tower - ARCHIVE

[skin]

Having seen Gartlochs wards and hall it was time to have look from the tower - here is the view

Looking across to Gartloch Village

Converted wards

Across the main hall roof

The derelict wards and the other tower

the final stair up

On the tower roof

Very impressive. I would imagine that was a bowel loosening climb. Nice

I don't remember it either ... pretty sure it isn't a lightning conductor. You recall what I said about the state of the towers when we were up there though ... !?

Nice one Skin - but it is a bit of a hair-raiser.

Cool stuff skin! That banding does look more structural than a conductor.

[scrappy]

well done, great shots. also agree that the banding looks to be holding things in place

[BB]

[BA]

Worth the trek

[skin]

thanks folks - the strapping is indeed lightning conductor Im afraid - did note this visit that part of the roof of the main hall has collapsed at the western end

We should all chip in to buy it. I bet they're desperate to get rid of the place.

Lush. I'm very jealous, love those towers!
