Argyll and Bute Hospital

Argyll and Bute Hospital was a mental health facility in Lochgilphead, Scotland.

[3] The hospital, which was designed by David Cousin, opened as the Argyll District Asylum in 1863.

[4] A new block, designed by Peddie & Kinnear, (sometimes referred to as the East House) was added in 1883 and, after joining the National Health Service as the Argyll and Bute Hospital in 1948, a new 30-bed extension was added and officially opened by the Duchess of Kent in 1971.

[4] After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and was closed to inpatients in 2016.

[1] Although a Grade C listed property, the buildings are no longer maintained and in 2020 the 'East House', being unsafe, was demolished.
