Invergordon Naval Hospital. The extensive naval hospital at Invergordon is shown on a First World War plan as occupying two sites. The first, and smaller, lies close to hutments at the NW side of the town (NH 7054 6874) and comprises six buildings (see NH76NW 64.10). The larger, eastern compound (centred NH 71868 69350) lay at the eastern edge of the base complex and comprises 13 buildings on the site of the modern Community Hospital. All of the First World War buildings have been demolished in recent years. The sale of the naval hospital to the Ross & Cromarty County Council in 1921 is recorded in The National Archives (ADM 1/8605/82). United States Navy Hospital No. 2 was also located at Invergordon (American Diplomats in Russia: case studies in orphan diplomacy, 1916-19, William Allison). A Naval Hospital was in use in the town during the Second World War.
