Lightburn Hospital

Lightburn Hospital is a health facility in Carntyne Road, Glasgow, Scotland.

The facility (located just off the A8 Edinburgh Road in the east end of the city) has its origins in the old Lightburn Infectious Diseases Hospital which was designed by James Thomson and completed in 1896.

[2] The infectious diseases hospital closed in 1964 and was replaced by a new 120‑bed geriatric unit.

[1] A proposal from the health board to close the hospital[3] was rejected by the Scottish Government in January 2018;[4] a similar plan was halted in 2011.
