History

The facility, which was designed in 1936 by George James Miller (1902-1940) the "son" of James Miller & Son, was established as an auxiliary hospital for the Glasgow Royal Infirmary in 1938. [2] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and a major plastic surgery unit, which quickly established an international reputation, [3] [4] was opened in 1968. [5] After services transferred to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, the hospital closed in 2003 and some of the buildings were subsequently converted by Cala Homes into apartments. [6]
