Campbeltown Hospital is a community hospital in Ralston Road, Campbeltown, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Highland.

History[edit]

The facility has its origins in the Campbeltown Cottage Hospital which was opened on Witchburn Road in 1896.[1] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 but, after the cottage hospital became decrepit, services transferred a modern facility in Ralston Road in the early 1990s.[1] The number of beds was reduced from over 60 beds at opening and from 19 to 15 in January 2019.[2][3]
