Stobhill hospital below celebrated its 100th birthday in 2004.
In 1899 the local Parish Council bought the land to build Stobhill Hospital. Lord Balfour of Burleigh, the then Secretary of State for Scotland, laid the foundation stone for the new hospital in September 1901. The first patients were admitted to the hospital in 1903 and by the summer of 2004 Stobhill had 800 patients. Stobhill was officially opened on 15 September 1904 and had over 1,800 beds.
