EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Distant View of Craig Dunain Hospital, Inverness, Scotland: A Historical Institution for Mental Health Care in the Scottish Countryside 2.. This evocative photograph captures the distant view of Craig Dunain Hospital, located in Inverness, Scotland. Originally established in 1864 as the Inverness District Asylum, this institution has a rich and complex history that spans over a century. Over the years, it underwent several name changes, including Northern Counties District Lunatic Asylum, and eventually Craig Dunain Hospital. The image reveals a sprawling campus nestled amidst the picturesque Scottish countryside, surrounded by lush green fields and rolling hills. The Victorian-era architecture, with its red-roofed buildings and grand chimneys, stands in stark contrast to the tranquil rural setting. During its early days, Craig Dunain Hospital served as a workhouse and a place of last resort for the destitute, the elderly, and the mentally ill. In the 1860s, the primary focus shifted towards mental health care, with a growing emphasis on humane treatment and care for patients. By the 1930s, Craig Dunain Hospital had become a leading psychiatric institution in Scotland, providing care and support for individuals struggling with various mental health conditions. The 1938 expansion of the hospital marked a significant milestone, with the addition of modern facilities and improved living conditions for patients. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Craig Dunain Hospital and its role in the provision of mental health care in Scotland during the Victorian and 30s eras. Today, the hospital continues to serve the community, offering essential services and support to those in need.
