Sinister images reveal a spooky Scottish wartime tuberculosis hospital where the superintendent believed the disease was spread by cats and ordered stray felines to be shot on sight.
Located just 30 miles from Edinburgh, the hospital has been left to rot since its closure in 1997. The hospital was used as a naval air station during the First World War. When tuberculosis cases began to rise in Scotland, the base was converted into a sanatorium, with open-air verandas being added to many of the buildings.
The exterior of the property cuts through the leafy Scottish landscape and appears remarkably intact, minus a few windows. The interior tells another story with walls crumbling and floors covered in debris, piles of mattresses filling rooms, and baby's prams can be found decaying on the hospital's grounds.
