DescriptionBroomhill and Lanfine Hospitals, Kirkintilloch - geograph.org.uk - 439043.jpg
English: Broomhill & Lanfine Hospitals, Kirkintilloch A beautiful building - but the future it faces seems to be demolition, having been a target for vandals over the years. The original building on the site was purchased in 1876 and opened for business. It catered for patients suffering from tuberculosis, cancer, chronic rheumatism and other incurable conditions. Paupers were not to be admitted. Additions to the main building increased the number of patients that could be treated. In 1904 the adjacent Lanfine house was incorporated into the hospital complex and Lanfine Home was opened.
Both hospitals closed in 1995, after 119 years serving the public.
