Randolph Wemyss Memorial Hospital, Category B listed hospital building in Buckhaven, Scotland
The Randolph Wemyss Memorial Hospital features white harled walls, red sandstone details, and a central Doric-columned portico displaying the Wemyss family coat of arms.
Lady Eva Wemyss commissioned the hospital in 1909 with £10,000, dedicating it to her late husband Randolph Wemyss, who managed local coal mines and improved workers' conditions.
The hospital's circular entrance hall incorporates a swan motif in its floor design, representing the Wemyss family motto 'Je Pense' and connecting to local heritage.
The facility provides continuing care through 16 inpatient beds in the Wellesley unit, along with dental services, clinical psychology, and community rehabilitation programs.
A direct tunnel once connected the Wellesley Colliery to the hospital, allowing injured miners quick access to medical treatment during emergencies.
