What is recorded here

Lennox Castle Hospital stands in Lennoxtown, East Dunbartonshire, a massive medical complex built to contain and treat minds that ordinary society refused to understand. The castle name suggests ancient stone, but the real history is modern institutional power, where human suffering became a system of walls, routines and observation.
