History

edit

The hospital has its origins in an infectious diseases hospital in Cunninghill Road which opened in January 1897.[1][2] It moved to a new 60-bed facility in Upperboat Road, which was designed by R. Leslie Rollo, in December 1940.[1][3] It continued to deal with a wide range of infectious diseases from across Aberdeenshire.[4] Following the eradication of many infectious diseases, single storey wards were re-designated for general medicine in 1958.[4]
