Whitehill House
Whitehill House is a Tudor-revival building designed by David Bryce and William Burn. It was built in 1844 as a home for Wardlaw Ramsay, proprietor of the nearby Whitehill Colliery (which was later acquired by the engineer Archibald Hood). [1]
In World War I it was used as a Red Cross hospital. [2] Until the late 1990s, Whitehill was run by Roman Catholic Church as St. Joseph's Hospital for disabled children.
