  1. Wow this building clearly is/was very beautiful what a disgrace it has been left to decay.

    I would interested in finding out how to get some original pictures of this building

    This should have been saved

  2. My late Father was the Group Engineer and we stayed in Gartloch. I remember seeing the Hall when it was still a Hospital. The place was beautiful.
