Through the Window by

Taken in the abandoned Rosslynlee Mental Hospital, Scotland.

Rosslynlee Hospital was founded in 1874 under its original name of Midlothian and Peebles Asylum (1874 – 1948) then changed its name to Rosslynlee Mental Hospital (1948-60). Set in 64 acres of land, it was a psychiatric hospital until late 2010 and eventually closed early 2011.

About Den McKervey

Started taking photos and playing about with Photoshop in May 2011 when my good friend Don Alexander Lumsden gave me his old camera on what we’ll call ‘a long-term loan’ ;) What I didnt realise at the time was that the camera came with a walking, talking instruction manual and encyclopedia of photography!

    Kinda a bummer when places like these have to close, but your capture is wonderful considering! Great colors and love your POV!

  • Cheers Tina, this was actually taken through the window on the other side of the corrider from outside, unfortunately we couldnt get inside so this was the next best thing :)
