Edinburgh's City Hospital was situated immediately to the south of Craiglockhart Hill, to the east of Colinton Mains Road. The building was designed by Robert Morham and opened in 1903 as the City Hospital for Infectious Diseases. The hospital had moved from a site at High School Yards in the centre of Edinburgh where it had been known as the City Fever Hospital. City Hospital closed in 2002 and was redeveloped as housing.
