The facility has its origins in the Sutherland Combination Poorhouse which was designed by Andrew Maitland and completed in 1865.[1][2] It joined the National Health Service as the Sworedale Institution in 1948.[1] It was replaced by a modern facility, located closer to Bonar Bridge, which was designed by Austin-Smith:Lord and built by Robertson Construction at a cost of £8 million.[1] It opened to patients in June 2011[3] and was officially opened by Michael Matheson, Minister for Public Health, in August 2012.[4] In 2020 services were reconfigured.[5]
