Longmore House, Category B listed building in Salisbury Place, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Longmore House spans three stories in neoclassical style with polished stone facades and stands in the Newington district of Edinburgh.

John Alexander Longmore provided 10,000 pounds to establish this hospital for incurable patients, which opened its doors in 1875.

The facility transformed from Edinburgh Association for Incurables to Royal Edinburgh Hospital, reflecting changes in medical care approaches of the era.

The building now serves as headquarters for Historic Environment Scotland, following its conversion from medical facility to office space in 1994.

An underground tunnel connects the main building to auxiliary structures, including former carriage houses and a mortuary chapel.
