Scope and Content The hospital has its origins in a temporary facility which was built by James Campbell and Sons on part of the Raigmore House estate, as one of the seven new Emergency Hospital Service facilities, in WWII, in 1941. The single storey wartime wards continued to be used for a further three decades, until the construction of the present buildings. A maternity facility was added in 1947 and the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948. In 1962 an announcement was made that a modern district general hospital would be provided at Raigmore. The new facilities were designed by J. Gleave & Partners and the first phase, which included radiology and radiotherapy, laboratory, out-patient services and medical departments, opened in 1970. A second phase, which included the main tower block with operating theatres, opened in 1985. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
