Scope and Content Craig Dunain psychiatric hospital is towards top L, established in 1864 on high ground to the W of Inverness, to accommodate 250-300 psychiatric patients. It is now (2020) closed, and subjected to a major re-development of both the building and the surrounding area. Craig Phadrig, towards the bottom of the image, was opened in 1970 for mentally handicapped patients. The buildings were of brick and concrete with flat roofs. Those on the brow of the hill were of two?storeys or more, but the residential blocks were single storey and built into the hillside to preserve the dramatic view down to Inverness and the Moray Firth. Craig Phadrig was demolished in 2000, and replaced by New Craigs Psychiatric Hospital, seen under construction in this photo. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
