History
[edit | edit source]The facility has its origins in a home for imbecile children established by Sir John and Lady Jane Ogilvy; it was designed by Coe & Goodwin[2] and opened as the Baldovan Institute in around 1855.[3] The present structure was designed by John Turnbull Maclaren and completed in the early 20th century.[3] After joining the National Health Service in 1948, it was renamed Strathmartine Hospital in 1959.[4] During the redevelopment of the site in the mid-1960s the original structure 19th century structure was demolished.[3] It was progressively decommissioned from the late 1980s, closing completely in 2003.[5] In 2014 Heritage Lottery Funding was awarded to a project for people to record their memories of the hospital.[6] The decaying building was subsequently placed on the Buildings at Risk Register.[7][8]
