History
Stoneyetts Hospital was built by Glasgow Parish Council and opened in 1913. Originally an epileptic colony, it soon became a unit for intellectually disabled people under the Mental Deficiency and Lunacy (Scotland) Act of 1913. Stoneyetts eventually faced overcrowding and arrangements were made with Falkirk Parish Council for patients to be cared for at Blinkbonny Home; a substantial number of patients were transferred from Stoneyetts to Lennox Castle in 1936. In 1937, the institution assumed its final and longest-running function: a facility for certified mental patients (although there was a changing emphasis toward psychogeriatric care by the 1970s).
Stoneyetts Hospital closed in 1992.
