Strathmartine Hospital

Strathmartine Hospital is a Category B listed hospital building in Angus featuring administrative structures with early 20th-century architectural design by John Turnbull Maclaren. The site spans approximately 44 acres with multiple historic structures now protected as listed buildings.

Founded in 1855 by Sir John and Lady Jane Ogilvy, the building originally served as Baldovan Institution caring for children with intellectual disabilities. The facility played an important role in care and accommodation for this population over many generations.

The University of Dundee Archive Services maintains extensive records documenting the hospital's operations, medical practices, and patient care through photographs and documents.

The site closed in 2003 and is currently undergoing redevelopment according to plans approved by Angus Council for housing purposes. When visiting, note that the property is in active development with four listed structures being preserved.

The University of Dundee Archive holds extensive records including photographs and documents about operations and patient care. This collection provides a rare look into medical practices and daily work at the facility across many decades.
