Oh no more horribly specific research that I have not been able to find online - Does anyone know if there was a Cottage Hospital near to Pitlochry in 1978 and if not what was the closest A&E unit at that time. - ThreadSky

The mental hospital or Irvine ehichbeas closed and became community?

Irvine Memorial Hospital in Pitlochry? I believe Irvine was repurposed as senior home and they opened a new facility, the community hospital. I believe it was taken down. Like the nearby mental hospital, Ravenspark.

Thanks - I've found Irvine now I'm looking to see when the transition took place.

Late 1970s I believe but the actual date is absent from my brain. (As are a lot of things) though it was considered an important structure its demolition did cause protest like tearing down the mental hospital did.
