History
The facility, which financed by a legacy from Mr Alexander Dunbar and designed in the Scottish baronial style, opened in 1885.[1][2] After the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948, additions included a new maternity wing in 1960 and a physiotherapy department in 1970.[1] It was confirmed in July 2017 that, despite discharging its only inpatient, the hospital would remain open for business.[3]
