Old photograph of the Naval Hospital in Invergordon, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. Invergordon County Hospital was founded during WWI as a Royal Navy Hospital. It was constructed during the war using female builders and designed to hold 250 beds. Casualties from the fleet were taken by steam drifters to Invergordon, and then transferred from the hospitals to ambulance trains. The hospital comprised of an administrative block, kitchen, store, mortuary and 9 ward blocks. Many of the buildings were used until the hospital was demolished and rebuilt in 2005. The sale of the naval hospital to the Ross & Cromarty County Council happened in 1921.
