An infirmary was founded in Edinburgh in 1729 at the top of Robertson's Close which leads south from the Cowgate. The hospital received its Royal Charter in 1736, becoming Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. It moved a short distance to Infirmary Street in 1741 and again to Lauriston Place in 1879. The Royal Infirmary moved once again in 2003 to a new site at Little France, and the Lauriston Place site is now the location for the Quartermile development.
