Falkirk Cottage Hospital
Biography
Falkirk Cottage Hospital was set up in 1889 on Thornhill Road under the Public Health (Scotland) Act 1867 which gave powers to town councils, police commissioners and parochial boards to erect hospitals, regulate lodging houses and combat diseases. Harriet Gibson, wife of J E Gibson of Salton Iron Works was the driving force behind the founding of the hospital. In 1904 the Board of Managers of the hospital decided to re-name it Falkirk Infirmary. Although the Infirmary expanded considerably over the next decade, by the 1920s it was clear that the accommodation was too small to meet demand and fund-raising took place to build a new Infirmary.
Falkirk Infirmary was closed in 1932 following the opening of Falkirk & District Royal Infirmary.
