History:
A Committee of Management for the hospital was formed in 1804 and construction began in the Cowcaddens area of Glasgow in 1810.It was originally opened as the Glasgow Lunatic Asylum in 1814, but after a royal charter was obtained, it became the Glasgow Royal Lunatic Asylum in 1824.
In the 1830s it was decided to commission a new hospital in the Gartnavel area of Glasgow. The new facility, which was designed by Charles Wilson in the Gothic Revival style, allowed segregation by patients' gender and social class. The new hospital opened in 1843.
The hospital first published the Gartnavel Minstrel, the earliest example of a publication written and edited by hospital patients, in 1845. The facility became the Glasgow Royal Mental Hospital in 1931 and, after major additions in 1939 and 1959, it became the Gartnavel Royal Hospital in 1963.
Prominent clinicians who worked at the hospital included Sir David Henderson, who was physician-superintendent at the hospital from 1921 to 1932, Donald Ewen Cameron, who worked at the hospital during the 1920s and R. D. Laing, who worked at the hospital for a number of years during the 1950s.
New Gartnavel Royal entrance
The Gartnavel General Hospital opened on the same site in December 1972. A programme of modernisation at the Gartnavel Royal Hospital was completed in 2007, enabling the 117-bed hospital building to serve a significant population of Glaswegian inpatients, along with mental health facilities at Stobhill Hospital and Parkhead Hospital. The modernisation cost £19 million and was said to be "the most modern and innovative building of its kind in the UK" at the time of opening. The 117-bed facility entirely comprised individual rooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom facilities. A community café and family room were also created in the hospital.
