Blairgowrie Community Hospital is a health facility in Perth Road, Blairgowrie and Rattray, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Tayside.

History

The first donation to the hospital was a legacy from Mrs Clerk-Rattray in 1882.[1] Subsequently, Mrs Macpherson of Newton Castle gifted the site and further donations were then forthcoming.[1] The facility, which was designed by L & J G Falconer,[2] opened as Blairgowrie and Rattray Districts Cottage Hospital in May 1901.[3] An additional wing was added in 1940 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, a GP unit was established on the site in 2014.[4]
