Kirkintilloch: entrance to the Auld Aisle graveyard
This 18th century gateway to the Auld Aisle graveyard is surmounted by a watchhouse and a belfry. The watchhouse, reached by steps built into the arch of the gateway, was intended to provide shelter to people guarding newly buried people against grave robbers. In the early 19th century there was a great shortage of corpses for anatomists and grave robbers, or resurrection men as they were called, made a living by stealing the newly dead and buried. The bell in the belfry may have been used to call for assistance or it may have housed the deid or mort bell which was tolled at funerals.

Woodilee Asylum
Now just a shell, the central building and clock tower along with a few ancillary buildings are all that remain of this previously impressive structure.
Opened in 1875 as the Barony Parochial Asylum at Woodilee it was the largest asylum in Scotland, with 400 inmates. It closed its doors finally in 2001, after cracks appeared in the main block and the patients were evacuated on 'Black Friday (13th March 1987). There are plans to begin developing the site and incorporating parts of the original buildings in 2008-9.
