Abandoned Sanatorium - Glen O' Dee Hospital - Aberdeen, Scotland [04:37]
The original building was built in 1900 and started its life as Nordrach on Dee Hospital, a sanctuary for tuberculosis patients. When TB died down it served as a luxury hotel (when it became "Glen O' Dee"), but was taken over during the war to serve as a billet for troops. It reprised its role in contagious diseases when the typhoid epidemic hit nearby Aberdeen in the 1960s, but its last use was as a residential home for the elderly. The original building closed in 1998, when a new purpose built building was built on the same site. The original building has been featured on the BBC's Restoration programme, but it has sat empty and deteriorating since 1998.
