History

The foundation stone for the new "Millport Infectious Diseases Hospital" was laid by Sir Charles Dalrymple, a former Grand Master Mason of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, on 13 January 1900. [2] The building, designed by architects Fryer & Penman of Largs, consisted of red sandstone forming three blocks - one for male patients, another for female patients, and the third for the administrative staff. [2] It was officially opened by Lady Margaret Crichton-Stuart, daughter of John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, on 25 September 1900. [3]

The facility was converted to a general hospital in 1929 [3] and joined the National Health Service as the Lady Margaret Hospital (named in recognition of the person who opened it) in 1948. [4]

Services

The hospital has facilities for treating minor injuries. [5]
