Old Photograph Ochil Hills Hospital Scotland

Old photograph of Ochil Hills Hospital near Milnathort, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish hospital was built in 1902 as a tuberculosis sanatorium. The rationale for sanatoria was that before antibiotic treatments existed, a regimen of rest and good nutrition offered the best chance that the sufferer's immune system would " wall off " pockets of pulmonary tuberculosis, or TB, infection. Unused since the late 1980s, the main hospital building and associated annex buildings were demolished in 2003.
