What is recorded here

Lennox Castle Hospital stands in East Dunbartonshire, its admission block still casting a long shadow across the land. The exact purpose of each room has faded, leaving only the shape of the building to hint at the lives it held. What is known is that the place existed, and what is forgotten is how often it changed the people inside it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lennox Castle Hospital, Hospital and Admission Block as Hospital (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
