A Victorian hospital with a difference, the Crichton was founded by Mrs Elizabeth Crichton in memory of her husband, an East India Company doctor. It came to boast its own ballroom, 85 acres of grounds laid out with seed and cuttings from The Royal Botanic gardens, Edinburgh, and its own water and electricity supply. The Crichton still surprises today, as its transformation into a modern facility for learning and enterprise continues.
