History

edit

The facility, which was founded by the Countess of Seafield in memory of her son, Ian Charles Ogilvy-Grant, opened in 1885.[1] A maternity wing was completed in 1923,[2] and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, it was further expanded in the 1950s.[1] In February 2015, it was announced that the hospital would close once a new health centre in Aviemore had been completed.[3][4]
