(Name: NT 2590 0394) Site of (NAT) Orphan Hospital (NR)
OS 1/1056 plan, (1854)
The Orphan Hospital, now known as the Dean Hospital was founded in 1733 by public subscription. It first occupied a rented building in Bailie Fyfe's Close, but in 1734-6, a building was erected on a piece of ground called "Dingwall" on the site indicated above. (See NT27SE 66) This was removed when the railway was being built.
