History

The facility was financed by a gift from Andrew Thomson Reid (1863-1940) of Auchterarder House.[2] It was intended to be a memorial to his father, who had founded the Hyde Park Locomotive Works in Glasgow,[3] and his mother.[2] It was designed by Stewart & Paterson[4] and opened in 1926.[2] After joining the National Health Service in 1948, an outpatients clinic was added in 1950.[2]
