Kelso Hospital, also known as Inch Hospital, is a health facility at Inch Road in Kelso, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Borders.

History[edit]

The hospital has its origins in the Kelso Union Workhouse which was designed by John Smith (1783-1864) and opened in 1854.[1][2] It was converted for hospital use, based on a design by Scottish architect James Alison (1862-1932), in 1911.[3] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and subsequently became known as "Inch Hospital".[4][a]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ It was known as "Inch Hospital" to distinguish from the Cottage hospital, which has since closed, on Jedburgh Road
