Gartnavel Royal Hospital is a mental health facility based in the west end of Glasgow, Scotland. It provides inpatient psychiatric care for the population of the West of the City; covering Hillhead, Partick, Scotstoun, Yoker, Clydebank, Drumchapel, Bearsden and Milngavie. It used to house the regional adolescent psychiatric unit but this has recently moved to a new psychiatric unit at Stobhill Hospital. Originally opened as the Glasgow Lunatic Asylum in 1814 in the Cowcaddens area of Glasgow,[1] it became the Glasgow Royal Lunatic Asylum in 1824.[2]
The facility moved to new premises designed by Charles Wilson in 1843,[3] becoming the Glasgow Royal Mental Hospital in 1931 and the Gartnavel Royal Hospital in 1963.[2] Donald Ewen Cameron worked at the hospital during the 1920s and R. D. Laing worked at the hospital for a number of years during the 1950s.
In December 1972, the Gartnavel General Hospital opened on the same site.[4]
As of 2006[update], some of the buildings are unused.[5][6] The modernisation of Gartnavel Royal was completed in 2007 and today a new 117-bed hospital building serves a significant population of Glaswegian inpatients, along with mental health facilities at Stobhill Hospital and Parkhead Hospital.[7]
