Aberfeldy Centenary Display


Aberfeldy Community Hospital

As part of our remit to reflect medical history throughout Tayside, in September 2009 we opened our first satellite display at Aberfeldy Community Hospital. Officially opened to mark the centenary of the hospital, the display features artefacts used in the hospital over the past 100 years along with photos of well-known staff such as Dr Swanson, Dr Yellowlees and Matron Cameron. The display can be seen in the hospital foyer area during normal opening hours.




Visit by the Health Secretary


Nicola Sturgeon at the Medical History Museum

In 2008 Nicola Sturgeon MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Health & Wellbeing, visited the Medical History Museum as part of a tour of Ninewells Hospital. Medical curator Dr Graham Lowe was on hand to show her some of the permanent displays and the Medical Impressions exhibition.

Medical History Leaflet

As part of the Scotland & Medicine project we have helped to create a new leaflet on the medical history of Fife and Tayside. The leaflet lists all of the important medical museum and archive collections in the area and describes some of the many significant medical discoveries and personalities that originated here.
