History

[edit]

The facility, which was financed by Maria Douglas-Home, Countess of Home and designed by James Kerr,[1] was opened as the Douglas Cottage Hospital in 1888.[2] It later became known as the Lady Home Hospital, being renamed after its founder.[3] It was expanded in 1936 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, it was extended again in 1960s.[2] A group of 30 female staff at the hospital won £1.3 million on the National Lottery in 2011.[4]
