Background
History
The hospital was designed by Reiach & Hall using a design solution that has been recognised as particularly well-suited to the local environment. It was officially opened in 1995. When the Scottish Executive looked at reorganising rural health care in 2004 there were local protests: following this there were calls to work more closely with the Belford Hospital in Fort William. A new audiology unit was opened by Rhona Brankin, deputy health minister, in 2005.
