Kirklands Hospital is a mental health facility in Bothwell, Scotland.
The hospital, which was designed by Thomas Halket, was established by Dr William Dean Fairless as a private psychiatric facility for the "upper and middle classes" and opened as the Bothwell Asylum in June 1871.
[1][2][3] It was acquired by the Glasgow District Board of Lunacy in 1879 and, after being significantly expanded in the Scottish baronial style, reopened as the Kirklands District Asylum in 1881.
[4] After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and the old buildings were replaced by smaller modern assessment and treatment facilities.
[5][6] Since 2010, the site has also been used by NHS Lanarkshire as their headquarters[7] and medical training centre.
