Title
The Sick Children's Hospital
Description
Aberdeen's first hospital for children was opened in Castle Terrace in September 1877. The only parts of the old hospital open to the sun and air were the iron balconies at the rear of the building. The hospital moved to Foresterhill in 1929 as an early part of the Joint Hospital Scheme. The building in Castle Terrace was put up for sale and eventually bought in 1938 by Alexander 'Cocky' Hunter. Correspondent Ed Fowler informs us that the hospital building incorporated the original house at 6 Castle Terrace of Naval Surgeon Dr Patrick Blackie. Dr Blackie used his house for his surgeries and to provided medical services to the local community. The original house is in the central block to the right of the main entrance and shows a break of continuity to the Main Architectural Facade.
