Andy Arthur - ThreadinburghThe thread about the Corstorphine Convalescent Home; “To the Glory of God, for the Welfare of the Poor”Corstorphine Hospital may have been shut for over a decade, but it (briefly) made the news earlier this week as a result of a fire in the abandoned building. I had a front-row seat as I happened to cycle past on my way to work; by which time it was fortunately under the control of the Fire Brigade before it had a chance to have properly taken hold.An ominous cloud of smoke rising from the former Corstorphine Hospital on 14th May 2025. Photo © SelfThe building was first opened on 2nd August 1867 as the Convalescent Home for the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. Five acres of the Meadowhouse Farm had been <a href="https://threadinburgh.scot/feu-feud-feus-and-feuing/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">feud</a> from landowner Sir William Hanmer Dick-Cunyngham bt. the previous year, allowing the institution to be set back from the road on a gentle, south-facing slope for the best sunlight and vistas across to the Pentland Hills.1893 OS Map of Edinburghshire, centred on Corstorphine Convalescent HomeIt was a fairly plain building to designs by Messrs Peddie & Kinnear. It originally had 44 beds in two wings, 26 for men and 18 for women, with a service block in the centre that extended to the rear. It was intended to accommodate patients from the Infirmary who were recovering after operations and treatment, for periods of around 3 weeks. It did not however deal with infectious diseases cases, as these were dealt with by separate hospitals. The extended natures of most stays, along with the fact that patients may be paying for the privilege, meant that the standard of accommodation was good; a mix of private rooms and small wards with two or three beds. Space per “inmate” (as the patients were termed) was also very generous in the name of airborne disease control. The decorative stone was brought from Dunsmore Quarry near Stirling with the infill from nearby Hailes Quarry. Heating was by open fires and there was as yet no piped water supply in the district of Corstorphine and so a well was sunk in the grounds.Scanned elevation drawing of the original Corstorphine Convalescent Home. © Courtesy of HES (Records of Dick Peddie and McKay, architects, Edinburgh, Scotland)The new Home allowed the variety of makeshift – and often inappropriate – convalescent houses in the city to be closed and all work centred on a modern building; well staffed by medical professionals, in a pleasant setting on the outskirts of the noise, smells and diseases of the city. It was funded to the tune of £12,000 by an anonymous philanthropic gentleman who did not want his name attached to it. It later transpired that this was William Seton Brown of Prestonpans, a wealthy London-based merchant who had made his money in Bombay and Shanghai. He came from a missionary family in East Lothian and his younger brothers, Alexander and Robert Ebenezer, were doctors who had died early in life in their 20s and 30s.Brown family grave marker in Grange Cemetery. “Also his sons: ALEXANDER BROWN, MD, Born May 29 1815, Died Nov 15 1839; and ROBERT EBENEZER BROWN, MD, Born Oct 1822, Died Apr 10 1849″The inscription above the doorway of the Home read, in Latin, “To the glory of God, for the welfare of the poor, and in memory of most affectionate brothers, the surviving brother caused this house of healing to be built“. This overlooked somewhat that the fourth and oldest brother and also a medical doctor – John Taylor Brown – outlived them all! In its early years the supply of fresh water was an obvious problem as the Home required 4,000 gallons a day, which clearly was a rather ridiculous proposition to try and source from a well. It took until 1878 for the<a href="https://threadinburgh.scot/2022/09/10/the-thread-about-edinburghs-first-piped-water-supply-and-what-it-has-to-do-with-a-fox-a-hare-a-swan-and-a-peewee/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Edinburgh & District Water Trust </a>to pipe a supply in, which Corstorphine village also benefited from. By 1881 the Home had 50 beds, with an average occupancy of 37. 660 patients were being treated per year, with an average stay of 20 days at a cost of 13s 11d per head, per week. The institution was very efficiently run with only a 1.3% management overhead and it’s annual income of £4,491 exceeded expenditure.In 1892 the Home was closed for a year and a half to extend it to a capacity of 100 beds and provide general improvements. This was made possible by a bequest from local engineer James “Steam Hammer” Nasmyth and saw the corner towers heightened and extension blocks added to each wing and the addition of south-facing balconies at 1st floor level. The original architects were employed, by now known as Kinnear & Peddie.Coloured postcard of the “Convalescent Home, Corstorphine” showing a Victorian hospital building set back from a lawn. There are numerous deckchairs in the shade of the balcony and some patients can be seen sitting in them. via Edinburgh City LibrariesFor some, the quiet and regimented life of the Convalescent Home proved relaxing and recuperative. But it wasn’t to everyone’s taste: many found it an overbearing straightjacket and discharged themselves against doctors orders just to escape. Yet others were told firmly to leave on account of their lasciviousness and drunkenness; while it catered for both men and women, the sexes were kept strictly apart.Black and white postcard of Corstorphine Home in 1912. via Edinburgh City LibrariesIn the year 1912, 1,323 patients had stayed at the Home with 925 of those staying for more than 3 weeks. It was found that very few had to return to the Infirmary after their time in Corstorphine, proving the utility of such institutions in freeing up primary hospital beds and aiding in recovery. From 1923 onwards, Corstorphine was joined by the Astley Ainslie Institution in providing convalescent care for the Infirmary. This modern facility was to pioneer long term care, medical supervision and rehabilitation. Little changed at the Corstorphine Home, which remained focussed on the traditional shorter stay recuperation for patients before they returned to their lives. A nod to modernisation came in 1927 when wireless receivers were installed and £80 was raised to provide headphones for patients to listen to the programming. The following year – 1928 – 1,612 patients were treated and the Astley Ainslie fully opened.Little else changed at the Corstorphine Home in the interwar period, but as the Infirmary found itself treating increasing numbers of older children, small numbers found their way to the Convalescent Home which opened a children’s ward. Those treated by the Royal Hospital For Sick Children were lucky to be sent to its seaside Home in Gullane.Christmas 1932, Santa Claus hands out presents to the younger patients in the HomeDuring WW2, like many such institutions it became an Auxiliary Hospital for service personnel. Initially the City was told by the Government that 300 of its 1,000 hospital beds were to be reserved for the military, reduced to 200 later that year. As a public, but charitable, institution, the Home was brought into the fold of the new National Health Service in 1947, remaining attached to the Infirmary. By the 1950s however it was recognised as being hopelessly out of date, described as “resembling a poor law institution of the earlier part of the century“. In addition, its wooden floors were found to be suffering from rot: something had to be done.1950s postcard of Corstorphine Convalescent House taken from the road, looking past the gates and up across the lawns and gardens. A painted signboard can be seen reads “Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh Convalescent House”. via Edinburgh City LibrariesVarious options were considered and eventually the institution was closed, had its floors reconstructed in reinforced concrete and was thoroughly modernised and refitted by the Regional Health Board into a General Hospital. Corstorphine Hospital, as it would now be know, had 112 beds in large, open wards and its balconies were now enclosed by glass curtain walls. A new nurses’ house was built in the grounds, freeing up internal space, and when it reopened in 1962 it was now certified to provide nursing training. A big change was a move to pre-ordered catering, with patients selecting their food in advance from a menu, rather than the old “take it or leave it” system which often saw it left, to the detriment of patients health. By 1974 changing practices saw it detached from the Infirmary and grouped in with other small district hospitals in the Lothians to provide specialist geriatric convalescent and rehabilitation care.Corstorphine Hospital against blue skies, showing the boxed-in balconies added in the 1960s rebuild. Photo taken 2013. CC-by-SA 2.0, Leslie Barrie via GeographA threat to the Hospital came in 1990 when it was proposed to close the hospital and potentially use the site for a new Sick Children’s Hospital. It weathered this storm but changing patterns for the elderly in the following decades, which was increasingly provided in patients homes or pushed into the private sector, saw it slowly run down. In 1999 a modern nursing home, Murraypark, was built in the grounds and in 200 the old nurses’ home was demolished and replaced with 30 residential care flats by a housing association. Closure for the hospital finally came in 2014, its founder’s message of “To the Glory of God, for the Welfare of the Poor” long forgotten, with Murraypark following in 2016. Plans to demolish the site and replace it with a “care village” came to nothing and in 2019 a plan by Michael Laird Architects was approved to renovate it into 32 flats, with extensions and additions in the grounds for 44 more flats.Architect’s CGI model showing planned additions and extensions in the grounds of Corstorphine Hospital. Via Scottish Construction Now.Neighbouring Edinburgh Zoo objected to this on the grounds of it being adjacent to the enclosures of their prized pandas (which would later be moved, and later yet moved all the way back to China). The added complexities of Covid and the economics of the construction industry has meant that nothing has yet come of the housing plans and the building has now lain abandoned for over a decade. That hasn’t stopped the Urbexers getting in though, and their videos show the interior has been thoroughly vandalised. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9W2JjCMJeE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9W2JjCMJeE</a> If you have found this useful, informative or amusing, perhaps you would like to help contribute towards the running costs of this site (including keeping it ad-free and my book-buying budget) by <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://ko-fi.com/andyarthur" target="_blank">supporting me on ko-fi</a>.

Chief of Pediatrics at St. Thomas General Hospital in Elgin County, Ontario, Dr. Asmaa Hussain: ‘“As for this outbreak, I saw the first case at the very end of November. I was on call at the hospital when a patient—a child—came in with respiratory problems. When I assessed him, I noticed an odd rash that looked very uncommon. I asked if they’d had any contact with someone with measles, and they said, “No.” I asked the patient if they were vaccinated, they said, “No.” So I checked with Public Health Ontario, who gave me the names of two reported cases two weeks earlier. I went back to this child’s parents, who confirmed those two reported cases were their neighbours. They said, “Oh, yes, but that was two weeks ago so we were safe.” I eventually found out they’d visited these neighbours a few days ago. “‘<a href="https://macleans.ca/society/health/measles-is-just-the-start/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://macleans.ca/society/health/measles-is-just-the-start/</a><a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/PublicHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicHealth</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Measles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Measles</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Vaccination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vaccination</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Ontario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a>
