| Administrative History | In 1919 the committee appointed in Kincardine O'Neil, Torphins, Aberdeenshire to consider an appropriate war memorial put forward a scheme which included the building of a cottage hospital as a live and continuing memorial to those who had made the supreme sacrifice. The foundation stone of this hospital was laid on 30 August 1923 and the completed building formally opened on 19 August 1925.
Originally an eight-bed cottage hospital, it later became almost exclusively for maternity care and survived several attempts to close it. In 2001, newly refurbished, the hospital had five maternity and six GP respite care beds. |
