A good example of a purpose built hospital designed by a prominent Scottish architect surviving in its original form with a fine symmetrical facade. The hopsital was built concurrent with the construction of the major project of the New Edinburgh Royal Infirmary 1870-9 also by Bryce and appears to be a much scaled down version in the same style,
The foundation stone was laid by Lady Lockhart on the 28th November 1874 and it was known as the Lockhart Hospital when it was first opened becoming the William Smellie Memorial Hospital at a later stage. It was used as a hospital for over 100 years until it closed in 1992. The building was redeveloped into 6 residential units in the mid 1990s.
