ruler, 11 00:00:34,367 --> 00:00:36,567 but it's not the person you really think it's gonna be. 12 00:00:39,467 --> 00:00:41,000 [narrator] Decaying relics... 13 00:00:42,567 --> 00:00:44,767 ruins of

central Scotland, between Edinburgh and Glasgow, 17 00:01:07,367 --> 00:01:10,567 imposing ruins cast a long shadow. 18 00:01:12,467 --> 00:01:16,166 [somber music playing] 19 00:01:16,166 --> 00:01:21,400 This epic building rising out of the woodland, which is totally ruthless. 20 00:01:21,467 --> 00:01:26,867 [Jim] Very imposing, made of stone, designed almost like a giant church 21 00:01:26,867 --> 00:01:29,900 with two clock or bell towers. 22 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,367 But they're totally dilapidated, 23 00:01:34,367 --> 00:01:38,467 everything has just collapsed into chaos inside. 24 00:01:38,467 --> 00:01:43,700 [Lynette] There is so much feeling of disaster here 25 00:01:43,767 --> 00:01:45,066 that you can't help 26 00:01:46,066 --> 00:01:50,800 but think that this is a dangerous place. 27 00:01:50,867 --> 00:01:55,166 [narrator] There are clues here of a terrifying past. 28 00:01:55,166 --> 00:01:58,200 [Lorraine speaking] 29 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,867 [Lynette] Here in Lanarkshire, people viewed this place as frightening, 30 00:02:06,867 --> 00:02:09,467 as an object of suspicion, 31 00:02:09,467 --> 00:02:10,667 and it was a threat. 32 00:02:17,166 --> 00:02:20,166 [Lorraine speaking] 33 00:02:21,867 --> 00:02:26,567 [narrator] Lorraine Duncan grew up under the shadow of this spooky place. 34 00:02:26,567 --> 00:02:30,000 It would eventually help her forge a career in mental health. 35 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,867 It would eventually help her forge a career in mental health. 36 00:02:30,867 --> 00:02:31,000 [Lorraine speaking] 37 00:02:41,667 --> 00:02:46,166 [Lynette] People could get locked up here against their will 38 00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:51,066 and be in that grim, forbidding place for the rest of their lives. 39 00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:56,500 [narrator] This complex was Hartwood Hospital, 40 00:02:56,567 --> 00:03:00,000 a psychiatric asylum that served the Scottish county, Lanarkshire, 41 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,667 a psychiatric asylum that served the Scottish county, Lanarkshire, 42 00:03:00,667 --> 00:03:01,000 for a century. 43 00:03:03,667 --> 00:03:06,667 [Lorraine speaking] 44 00:03:09,066 --> 00:03:13,467 [Jaega] In the 1950s, it was one of the largest mental institutions in Europe, 45 00:03:13,467 --> 00:03:16,200 with over 2,500 patients. 46 00:03:17,767 --> 00:03:21,667 [narrator] By this time, it had developed a fearsome reputation, 47 00:03:21,667 --> 00:03:25,266 forged since its inception in the late 19th century. 48 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000 When building started in 1890, 49 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000 When building started in 1890, 50 00:03:32,166 --> 00:03:35,867 it was designed to accommodate 420 patients, 51 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,500 and it had big ambitions to impress. 52 00:03:42,166 --> 00:03:45,700 [Jim] The main building had this elegant look, 53 00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:51,166 like almost like a large cathedral with two beautiful clock towers. 54 00:03:51,166 --> 00:03:54,200 [Lorraine speaking] 55 00:03:59,467 --> 00:04:00,000 [narrator] Overlooking the newly completed asylum 56 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000 [narrator] Overlooking the newly completed asylum 57 00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:05,266 was the home of its first superintendent, 58 00:04:05,266 --> 00:04:07,800 Dr. Archibald Campbell Clark, 59 00:04:07,867 --> 00:04:11,767 an experimental physician who pushed boundaries. 60 00:04:11,767 --> 00:04:14,767 [Lorraine speaking] 61 00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:26,266 [narrator] Campbell Clark brought groundbreaking ideas 62 00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:29,400 in mental healthcare to Hartwood. 63 00:04:29,467 --> 00:04:30,000 These buildings represent a real turning point in the history of medicine. 64 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000 These buildings represent a real turning point in the history of medicine. 65 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,600 [Lorraine speaking] 66 00:04:46,567 --> 00:04:48,567 [Lynette] Dr. Campbell Clark's view 67 00:04:48,567 --> 00:04:51,500 is that mental institutions 68 00:04:51,567 --> 00:04:57,100 ought to be a... a place where people would not be restrained, 69 00:04:57,100 --> 00:05:00,000 they wouldn't be held in straitjackets. 70 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,166 they wouldn't be held in straitjackets. 71 00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:01,000 [Jim] Clark thought it was vitally important for patients to live 72 00:05:03,266 --> 00:05:05,467 something like a normal life. 73 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,066 [narrator] The hospital organized recreational activities, 74 00:05:10,066 --> 00:05:14,467 like dances, cinema showings and fancy dress for the patients. 75 00:05:15,867 --> 00:05:18,867 [Lorraine speaking] 76 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,967 [narrator] One of Clark Campbell's revolutionary ideas 77 00:05:26,967 --> 00:05:30,000 was to get the patients to work on the site. 78 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,767 was to get the patients to work on the site. 79 00:05:30,767 --> 00:05:31,000 Male patients were put to work as tailors, shoemakers, 80 00:05:34,066 --> 00:05:35,700 bakers, gardeners, 81 00:05:35,767 --> 00:05:38,500 whereas the women were put to work in the kitchen 82 00:05:38,567 --> 00:05:41,367 and generally doing the housework around the ward. 83 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,066 [Jim] Today we call this occupational therapy, 84 00:05:46,066 --> 00:05:49,200 and working, folding sheets or in the kitchen 85 00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:53,166 or tending vegetables might not sound that exciting, 86 00:05:53,166 --> 00:05:56,066 but for a patient who might otherwise be sitting in a room, 87 00:05:56,066 --> 00:05:59,967 staring at the walls, this was something that was very healthy. 88 00:05:59,967 --> 00:06:00,000 [narrator] Eventually, Hartwood became less reliant on the outside world. 89 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000 [narrator] Eventually, Hartwood became less reliant on the outside world. 90 00:06:05,767 --> 00:06:09,867 In time, Hartwood Hospital was almost entirely self-sustaining. 91 00:06:11,266 --> 00:06:14,100 [Jim] The compound, it had gardens for growing food, 92 00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:18,066 it had a small cemetery, various workshops. 93 00:06:18,066 --> 00:06:20,166 [narrator] It even had its own railway line 94 00:06:20,166 --> 00:06:23,400 that would bring supplies right to the door. 95 00:06:23,467 --> 00:06:27,166 This was a... a tiny little boomtown 96 00:06:27,166 --> 00:06:28,967 built around ideas of mental health. 97 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,000 [narrator] Part of his radical reform and mental health, 98 00:06:33,266 --> 00:06:38,166 Campbell Clark engineered an overhaul in the training of nurses. 99 00:06:38,166 --> 00:06:41,100 [Lynette] The specialty of psychiatric nursing, 100 00:06:41,166 --> 00:06:44,100 to this day, owes some of its origins 101 00:06:44,166 --> 00:06:47,967 to this institution and to its visionary director. 102 00:06:49,667 --> 00:06:52,200 [Lorraine speaking] 103 00:07:12,667 --> 00:07:14,667 [narrator] Hartwood discharged more patients 104 00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:17,467 than any other hospital in the country, 105 00:07:17,467 --> 00:07:20,767 yet some of its treatments are outlawed today. 106 00:07:22,867 --> 00:07:25,867 [Lorraine speaking] 107 00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:40,567 [Jaega] It's safe to say that people in the local community 108 00:07:40,567 --> 00:07:44,467 don't believe that the conditions at Hartwood, even under Campbell Clark, 109 00:07:44,467 --> 00:07:48,600 were as humane as they appeared on paper. 110 00:07:48,667 --> 00:07:50,166 [Jim] The standards of the care 111 00:07:50,166 --> 00:07:51,300 of the mentally ill in that era 112 00:07:51,367 --> 00:07:54,166 were really quite dark. 113 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,400 [dramatic music playing] 114 00:07:59,567 --> 00:08:00,000 [narrator] Campbell Clark was trialing experimental new procedures,...
