Former Surgical Hospital, Edinburgh - a photo on Flickriver

Former Surgical Hospital, Edinburgh

            By the eminent architects David Bryce, 1848-53; Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, 1905-06 N wing alterations.  A T-plan Italian Renaissance former hospital with lower projecting wing to W and incorporating round-arched carriage pend in wing to the N. Situated on sloping ground with 5-storeys to rear (N). Squared and snecked, droved sandstone with raised ashlar margins. Band courses, cornice, raised long and short quoins. Balustraded square-plan tower. 

Now owned by the University of Edinburgh, this area of the city was the heart of the Edinburgh medical and surgical establishment in the 18th and 19th centuries. The University bought the building in 1904 and, after refurbishment, which included the reconstruction of the N wing by Rowand Anderson, it opened in 1906 as the Department of Natural Philosophy. Anderson’s work was to separate the two buildings and constructed the carriage pend.
