In 1927, Lennox Castle and its vast estate were purchased and plans were prepared for what was to be the largest and best equipped hospital of this type in Britain. Work began in 1929 to designs by Wylie, Shanks & Wylie, and it was to provide 1,200 beds at a cost of £1.25m.
Now the Lennox Castle estate welcomes leisure visitors to see the castle ruins, enjoy the beautiful scenery and walk around the network of paths and trails, all within a stones throw from the Campsie Fells. It is also home to the training ground of Celtic FC.
