Broomhill Hospital was a health facility in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, Scotland.
The hospital, which was financed by a donation from Beatrice Clugston[1] as a facility for incurable patients such as those with cancer, opened in 1876.[2] The Lanfine Home for patients with tuberculosis was added in 1904.[2] After joining the National Health Service in 1948, the hospital continued to care for chronically ill patients until it closed in 1995.[2] The buildings, other than an old gatehouse, have been demolished and planning consent has been given for the site to be redeveloped for residential use.[3] [4]
