The hospital closed in 1998 and it fell into disuse. This was followed by the inevitable fires in 2004 and 2016, leaving the building badly damaged and at risk of being lost. In 2020, it was used as a filming location for The Batman, where it served as Gotham Orphanage.

The Central Admissions Block of Hartwood Hospital near Shotts to the east of Glasgow. Designed by J.L. Murray in an imposing Scots Baronial style, it opened in 1895 as the Lanark District Asylum. A tubercolosis sanatorium was added to the site in 1906.

Absolutely love this grotesque on the former Coats Memorial Church in Paisley. Built in 1894, this church was designed in a Gothic Revival style by H.J. Blanc and it's covered in some fantastic Gothic-inspired sculptures and carvings. It's now used as an events venue.
