- Elsie Inglis Memorial Hospital
The Elsie Inglis Memorial Hospital (officially Elsie Inglis Memorial Maternity Hospital) was a hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland, was founded in 1925 as a memorial to Elsie Inglis. Backing onto Holyrood Park just east of Holyrood House, Edinburgh, Scotland, it was well liked for its intimate atmosphere by mothers who often referred to it as "Elsie's". Nevertheless the cost of supporting a relatively small hospital led to its closure in 1988. Maternity cover was transferred to the Eastern General Hospital which itself closed a few years later. All Edinburgh hospital births are now handled by the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
After a few years, a nursing home was built on the site which retains the name of Elsie Inglis.
