Old Photograph Craigleith Poor Law Hospital Edinburgh Scotland

Old photograph of Craigleith Poor Law Hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland. This hospital was built on land purchased from the Fettes Trust on Crewe Road at Craigleith. The buildings were formally opened on 21st December 1868. During the previous month, 410 inmates had been transferred from the old poorhouse, with the able bodied walking, and the remainder being carried in cabs and vans. The moving of the inmates took three days, while the shifting of the "goods and chattels" occupied a further twelve. In 1914 the hospital was taken over by the Army and used for the treatment of Forces casualties. At the end of the war, the insitution continued for several years to be administered by the Ministry of Pensions. It then returned to the control of the parish council and the west wing was reconditioned and re-equipped to accommodate 120 sick poor under the name of Craigleith Hospital. In 1930, Edinburgh Town Council took over the establishment and it became the Western General Hospital with 280 beds.
