History

The hospital has its origins in the Kelso Union Workhouse which was designed by John Smith (1783-1864) and opened in 1854. [1] [2] It was converted for hospital use, based on a design by Scottish architect James Alison (1862-1932), in 1911. [3] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and subsequently became known as "Inch Hospital". [4] [lower-alpha 1]

Notes

  1. It was known as "Inch Hospital" to distinguish from the Cottage hospital, which has since closed, on Jedburgh Road
