There are concerns people breaking into the derelict Strathmartine Hospital could be putting themselves in serious danger, with fire and water damage at the old administration building said to be worsening.

The building has been deemed dangerous.

It comes just months after fresh plans were launched to restore the listed administration building on the site and create new housing on the land through a “comprehensive redevelopment”.

Karen McAulay, who has been campaigning to save the hospital site for years, said the current proposals to redevelop Strathmartine Hospital could be the “only hope” to save the historic building.

And she has called on the site’s owners Heathfield Limited to take urgent action to protect the hospital’s listed structures.
