The Royal Northern Infirmary was a health facility in Ness Walk, Inverness, Scotland.
Subscribers included a member of the hospital board of management, John Ross (1782–1849), who had emigrated from Golspie to Berbice.
[1] His money was generated by the colonized plantations, worked by indentured servants of British Guiana, now the independent nation of Guyana.
[2][3] Construction of the facility, which was designed by John Smith of Banff in the neoclassical style, began in 1799 and the building was opened in 1804.
[8] After services transferred to a community hospital built in the grounds of the infirmary in 1999, the main building closed and was subsequently converted for use as the headquarters of the University of the Highlands and Islands.
