The Murray Royal Hospital is a mental-health facility in Perth, Scotland.

[1] The hospital arose from a bequest by James Murray, a local man who had inherited considerable wealth after his half brother died at sea.

[2] The facility, which was designed by William Burn in the neoclassical style using a corridor plan layout, opened as James Murray's Royal Lunatic Asylum in 1828.

[3] Additional wings, designed by Burn, were added in 1833 and Pitcullen House, a neighbouring property, was acquired for use as a superintendent's residence in 1849.

[4] After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and such a large facility was no longer necessary: a modern facility, designed by Atkins and built by Morgan Sindall and Robertson Group at a cost of £75 million on the same site, opened in June 2012.
