Details	Site of baths and ice house, replaced by an infectious diseases hospital (NO75NW0386), and now an iron foundry (NO75NW0059). On John Wood's 1829 map of Montrose, it is described as a salmon house and icehouse. At this time it is an L-plan building running along the foreshore, then turning North-East to join the ice house to the North. There is a separate rectangular building to the East, almost joining the Eastern end of the L-plan building. By the 1st edition OS map (1861), it has been joined into a rectangular complex of buildings oriented roughly North-West/South-East and is described as public baths. There is an enclosed open central court, and the ice house is incorporated into the Northern corner, but projecting to the North-East.
