Scope and Content Craig Phadrig Hospital 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. It was demolished in 2000, and replaced by New Craigs Psychiatric Hospital, under construction in the photo. The original Mental hospital for the area, Craig Dunain is at the top, established in 1864 to accommodate 250-300 psychiatric patients. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
