Dr Gray's Hospital, Category A listed hospital in Elgin, Scotland
The main building features classical architecture with Doric columns supporting a large portico topped by a drum tower and central dome.
The hospital opened in 1819 following a £20,000 bequest from Alexander Gray, a surgeon who worked for the East India Company.
The initial admission system required recommendation notes from established church ministers, reflecting the religious influence on healthcare access during that period.
The facility maintains 185 inpatient beds and delivers approximately 1,100 births annually while offering emergency care and specialized medical services.
The 1992-1997 renovation project cost £22 million and included modernization of operating theaters while preserving the historical architecture.
