History
editPeel House was designed by John Kinross and completed in 1904.[2] In 1939 Peel Hospital was established as one of seven Emergency Hospital Service facilities for military casualties when Peel House was requisitioned from Lord Craigmyle.[3] The wooden huts which had been erected during the war continued to be used for civilian purposes after the war.[3] Additions included an administration block in 1949, a new operating theatre in 1957 and a new out‑patients facility in 1969.[3] After services transferred to Borders General Hospital the hospital closed in 1988.[3]
