"Latitude: 55.9774 Longitude: -4.236002 Comments: John Lennox Kincaid, son of John Kincaid of Kincaid, and Cecilia Lennox, succeeded to the estate in 1833 on which Lennox Castle Hospital was subsequently built. He commissioned the building of the castle in 1837, in order to establish his claim to the lapsed title of Earl of Lennox. The architect was David Hamilton. This claim to the ancient earldom of Lennox was ultimately unsuccessful. The building of the castle finished in 1841 and he at once assumed the name of Lennox. This branch of the family, Kincaid-Lennox, was the last of the line to occupy Lennox Castle. The Castle was used as a temporary hospital after the outbreak of the 1st World War in 1914. Lennox Castle actually became a hospital, when on the 29th March 1927, the Glasgow Parish Council bought the castle from William George Peareth Kincaid Lennox, along with 1222 acres of the estate. The Parish Council planned to convert in into an institution for the mentally handicapped. The purchase price was £25,000. The erection of the new institution was commenced immediately, and the Secretary of State for Scotland, William Adamson, cut the first sod on the 5th October. E G Wylie of Shanks and Wylie designed it. Construction was carried out by John Train & Company, which used 3 million bricks and 55,000 cubic feet of stone. Underground ducts were constructed in 1929 to hold all electric cables, water and steam piping. These were huge underground tunnels, which were about 6 feet high and 6 feet wide, and stretched for almost a mile and a half under the institution. The cost of building this project was £1.25 million, a fortune at the time. While the building work was going on, the castle itself housed female patients and live-in staff. The new institution was opened on 24th September 1936 by Lord Provost John Stewart and was named "Lennox Castle Certified Institution for Mental Defectives.""
