Welcome to Woolmanhill Hospital

If you look up the road to the left, you will see the Woolmanhill Hospital. In 1883 the women of Aberdeen, in association with the VSA, set up a fresh flower delivery service for the sick and isolated of the city, making regular stops at the hospital. In 1875, recognising the power of books to entertain, lift spirits & inspire imaginations, they expanded into, and created, a Library that would be housed the City’s hospital. It was later moved with the creation of the Central Library in 1892, which is just behind us. What a lovely double delivery of books and fresh flowers.
