Lennox Castle Hospital (ruin) The picture was taken from a stairway which takes you down to what
was once a bowling green. The green is now heavily overgrown but the
benches and square enclosure wall are still there to be seen. 

The hospital itself is in a ruinous state and looks as though it 
could collapse at any time.
