Murthly Hospital
Submitted by Surfer Joe (not verified) on Sun, 08/09/2015 - 19:48
Perth District Lunatic Asylum was opened to patients in April 1864 and closed, as Murthly Hospital, in 1984. The complex became Murthly War Hospital in the First World War, with beds for 350 other ranks. Between January 1917 and March 1919 the hospital was used as a Military Psychiatric Hospital, the civilian patients being moved to other local psychiatric hospitals.
