**Description**
The building is dated 1909 and was opened on 27 October 1910. It was erected
under the auspices of Sir Donald Currie of Garth on a site granted free by the
Marquis of Breadalbane. It was designed by Dunn & Watson to blend in with the
local architecture, being single - storey, white - harled with crowstepped gables
and green slate roof. It is an excellent example of sensitive planning and
design in the Lorimeresque tradition. The hospital was extended in the 1920s
and was transferred to the National Health Service in 1948. It was until
recently Aberfeldy Community Hospital. Aberfeldy's original cottage hospital,
known as 'The Home', opened in 1879 in Home Street.
