The Lawson Memorial Hospital is a health facility in Ben Bhraggie Terrace, Golspie, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Highland.
The facility, which was designed by John Hinton Gall,[1] was built as a memorial to Alexander Brown Lawson and opened in 1899.[2] An extra wing, known as the Cambusavie Wing, was added in 1935[3] and, after the hospital had joined the National Health Service in 1948, further extensions were completed in the 1970s and in 1989.[2] John Lennon, the musician, and Yoko Ono and their children were treated in the hospital after a road traffic accident in 1969.[4]
