History

The first donation to the hospital was a legacy from Mrs Clerk-Rattray in 1882.[1] Subsequently, Mrs Macpherson of Newton Castle gifted the site and further donations were then forthcoming.[1] The facility, which was designed by L & J G Falconer,[2] opened as Blairgowrie and Rattray Districts Cottage Hospital in May 1901.[3] An additional wing was added in 1940 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, a GP unit was established on the site in 2014.[4]

gollark: My hosting has an uptime of more than 50%!
gollark: I may need to turn off the `git pull` thing or figure out how to heavily sandbox services in systemd.
gollark: So they both run as the AutoBotRobot account, but Esobot and AutoBotRobot are still separate... codebases.
gollark: Basically, somehow Lyric/Hactar broke Esobot's hosting, so I took matters into my own hands, took the publicly available source code, and ran it on my own server using AutoBotRobot's token.
