The building of what was then the Girl's High School (now Harlaw Academy) was incorporated into the 1st Scottish General Hospital, one of four Territorial Force military hospitals established in the First World War in Scotland. The buildings of three other schools were used by the hospital (the Central School (later Aberdeen Academy); Rosemount; and Westfield), as well as the city's poorhouse, along with huts and tents.
The hospital provided beds for 34 officers and 1,385 other ranks.
