The State Hospital provides assessment, treatment and care in conditions of special security for individuals with mental disorder who, because of their dangerous, violent or criminal propensities, cannot be cared for in any other setting. This State Hospital is a Special Health Board as part of the NHS in Scotland. http://www.tsh.scot.nhs.uk/ The hospital is the small cluster of white buildings. Carstairs Junction is to the right, Carnwath to the left. The Scottish branches of the West Coast Main Line can be seen here. The line to the lower right leads to Glasgow Central, the line to the lower left leads to Edinburgh. The line of the former Dolphinton branch can be seen immediately above the hospital.
