The Davidson Hospital was a health facility in Girvan, South Ayrshire, Scotland. It was managed by NHS Ayrshire and Arran. It remains a Category B listed building.[1]
The facility was financed by a gift from Thomas, James and Janet Davidson, in memory of their mother, Margaret Davidson.[2] It was designed by Watson, Salmond and Gray and opened in 1921.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and a new out‑patients' department was added in 1970.[3] After services transferred to the new Girvan Community Hospital,[4] the Davidson Hospital closed in March 2010.[2] It was subsequently placed on the Buildings at Risk Register.[5]
