History: The East Fortune Hospital initially served as a tuberculosis sanatorium until the WW2 when the unit was moved to the Bangour village about 40 miles to the west (closed in 2004 and now derelict). The hospital then served mostly RAF soldiers until it was re-opened to the public after the war.
Falling number of the tuberculosis cases in Scotland cause the hospital to be converted to a clinic for mentally handicapped in 1956. It served that purpose until 1997 when it was finally closed down for good with the patients transferred to a nearby unit in Haddington.
The explore: Probably one of our easiest explores. The place is in serious decay and there were a few buildings we could not access.
