MenuNew Craig House, Midlothian
New Craig House is a former Victorian hospital, now residential developments, located on Easter Craiglockhart Hill, Edinburgh, Midlothian. The present 'Old Craig House' dates from 1565. In the late 19th century the estate was purchased by the Edinburgh Lunatic Asylum, and the site was developed as Craig House Hospital, a psychiatric hospital. Work began in 1889 on the main hospital block ('New Craig House') and three detached villas, all of which were complete by 1894. New Craig House was intentionally grand, designed in a picturesque "free Renaissance" style, with elements taken from French Renaissance architecture. The interiors include a great hall and a billiard room. The hospital closed in the 1990s. It has since been converted to residential development. It is within the council area of City of Edinburgh.
