The Scots Hotel is a hotel located in Tiberias, Israel. It was originally known as the Scots Mission Hospital and later as the Scottish Compound. The hospital was founded in 1894 by Scottish doctor and minister David Watt Torrance, who arrived in Tiberias in 1884 as the head of the Church of Scotland mission. The hospital provided care to patients of all races and religions. In 1999, the building was renovated and reopened as the Scots Hotel. It currently offers 69 rooms and features one restaurant.
History[edit | edit source]
The Scots Hospital was established in 1894 by Dr. David Watt Torrance to serve the growing population of Tiberias. It moved to its current location at Beit abu Shamnel abu Hannah in the same year. Dr. Herbert Watt Torrance, son of David Watt Torrance, became the head of the hospital in 1923. After the establishment of the State of Israel, the hospital transitioned into a maternity hospital under the supervision of the Israeli Department of Health. It eventually closed in 1959 and was transformed into a guesthouse known as the Scottish Hospice. In 1999, it underwent extensive renovations and reopened as the Scots Hotel.
