HYDROPATHIC HOSTELRY

The Craiglands was built in 1859 and was one of the largest and most finely situated pupose-built hydropathic establishments in the country. The first proprietors were the Dobson Brothers, one of the brothers being Dr Henry Dobson, a physician, who supervised all the treatments offered to patients. These included mustard pads, massage, and all the latest Turkish, Russian and Electro-Chemical baths. The systems, coupled with the "tonic" air from the moors had the effect of enhancing the popularity of this splendid hydro.


Bit to cold to venture far, we seem to have four seasons in the day but most of the time  we were BLUE with cold, Theres an alternative view of the HOTEL here.
