Asylum - Shotts area

Post by AngelaS » Sat Nov 10, 2007 8:10 pm

I am trying to trace a death certificate for a relative who is believed to have died in an asylum in the Shotts area in the late 1940s. Does anyone know if such a place existed? He was diagnosed as suffering from shell shock following WW1.

Thanks

Angela

Hi Angela,

It was probably Hartwood. See the following webpage.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure that must be the place.

Best wishes
