Kirklands Hospital is a mental health facility in Bothwell, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Lanarkshire.

History

The hospital, which was designed by Thomas Halket, was established by Dr William Dean Fairless as a private psychiatric facility for the "upper and middle classes" and opened as the Bothwell Asylum in June 1871. [1] [2] [3] It was acquired by the Glasgow District Board of Lunacy in 1879 and, after being significantly expanded in the Scottish baronial style, reopened as the Kirklands District Asylum in 1881. [1] It became Kirklands Mental Hospital in the 1920s and then joined the National Health Service as Kirklands Hospital in 1948. [4]

After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and the old buildings were replaced by smaller modern assessment and treatment facilities. [5] [6] Since 2010, the site has also been used by NHS Lanarkshire as their headquarters [7] and medical training centre. [8] [9]
