Site of a hospital, now occupied by housing. The hospital opened on 28 July 1862, and originally provided 36 beds, comprising of sixteen beds for typhus fever patients, four beds for scarlet fever and smallpox cases and sixteen beds for surgical cases. On the 1st edition OS map (1861) it is shown as a T-plan building, oriented East/West with a wing projecting to the North. On the 2nd edition OS map (1901), there has been a large square wing added to the centre of the South-facing elevation, and two L-plan buildings constructed to the North, flanking the driveway from that direction. A rectangular building has been added to the West, adjacent to the residential buildings on Arbroath Road. By 1922, two additional flanking wings have been added to the East and West ends of the building, and there has been a small addition to the North end of the East elevation of the central wing. In 1927, a new nurses' home was built with funds provided by Sir James Duncan of Kinnettles. The hospital was closed and subsequently demolished following the opening in 2005 of the new community hospital, the Whitehills Health and Community Care Centre (see NO45SE0192).
