History
The hospital was designed by James Duncan as a joint infectious diseases hospital to serve both the burgh and district.[1] It opened as the Turriff Joint Hospital in 1895.[2] It closed in 1932 but re-opened with a new nurses' home in 1936.[1] The facility had some refurbishment in 1998[3] and it became the first site in NHS Grampian to become completely smoke-free in January 2014.[4]
