Summary
| Description |
English: The front of Mackinnon House, at the centre of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, Edinburgh, Scotland. A large Category B listed three-storey H shaped sandstone building with a very plain institutional design at a time when the building housed the poor. It is the oldest remaining building in the hospital and was first opened on 6 August 1842 when the hospital was the Royal Edinburgh Lunatic Asylum. The building is named after the asylum's first Physician Superintendent Dr William MacKinnon, who took up the post in 1840. Originally known as the West House due to its location relative to the since-demolished older part of the hospital. The central block and east range were built from 1839 to 1842, the west range and various extensions and ancillary buildings were built from 1852 to 1857. The main architects were William Burn and David Bryce. |
