History

The hospital, which was designed by William Lambie Moffatt, opened as the Midlothian and Peebles Asylum in 1874. [3] Two wings, designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, were completed in 1898. [3] It joined the National Health Service as Rosslynlee Mental Hospital in 1948 and became Rosslynlee Hospital in 1960. [4]

After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in 2011. [5] Plans have been brought forward to redevelop the site for residential use. [6]

Re-Development

The redevelopment of Rosslynlee Hospital, St. Margarets, is being promoted by Robertson Group as a redevelopment of the original hospital building and the construction of a range of detached new-build houses. This development will provide 121 luxury four, five and six bedroom homes. [7]
