Islay Hospital
Islay Hospital is a community hospital located in Gortanvogie Road, Bowmore, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Highland.
History[edit | edit source]
The hospital has a long history, with its origins dating back to 1865 when the Islay Combination Poorhouse was established on the site. In 1948, it became part of the National Health Service and was known as Gortanvogie House. In the 1960s, it was decided to replace the old Gortanvogie House and the Gartnatra Hospital with modern facilities on Gortanvogie Road. The new hospital, designed by Kenneth Geoffrey Ellis, opened in 1966. Dental services are provided from a portable cabin in the hospital's car park.
