Hay Lodge Hospital is a health facility at Neidpath Road in Peebles, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Borders. Hay Lodge is a Category B listed building.[1]

History[]

The hospital was commissioned to replace the ageing Peebles County Hospital on Rosetta Road and the Peebles War Memorial Hospital on Tweed Green.[2] It was established by building modern hospital facilities in the grounds of Hay Lodge, a late 18th century building, in 1983.[2][a] Hay Lodge was itself converted to become the administration and staff quarters of the hospital.[2][3] The hospital was forced to suspend admissions because of a sickness outbreak in January 2020.[4]
