'Gilbert Bain Hospital Gifted to Lerwick in memory of Gilbert Bain By his sisters Enga and Isabella 1901' Although no longer housed in this building, the current Shetland hospital, opened in 1960, is still named the Gilbert Bain Hospital. There is something slightly macabre about a former hospital currently housing a funeral directors. Gilbert Bain was born in Lerwick on April 29th 1809, died in Edinburgh on March 23rd 1886 and spent his working life in India and Singapore, where he made his fortune. He was unmarried and his sisters inherited his estate. |
