**Cameron Hospital** is a health facility in Cameron Road, [Windygates](/source/Windygates), [Fife](/source/Fife), [Scotland](/source/Scotland). It is managed by [NHS Fife](/source/NHS_Fife). The original building, known as Haig House, is a Category B [listed building](/source/Listed_building).[1]

## History

Haig House, which was originally commissioned by the distiller John Haig for use as his home, was designed by [David Bryce](/source/David_Bryce) in the [Scottish Baronial style](/source/Scottish_baronial_architecture) and completed in 1849.[2] It later became the family home of Field Marshal [Earl Haig](/source/Douglas_Haig,_1st_Earl_Haig), his son.[3]

An infectious diseases hospital was established on the site in 1912 when Haig House was converted into an administration block and ward pavilions were built in the grounds.[3] A new administration block was completed in 1940 at which time Haig House was converted for use as a nurses' home.[3] The building was used as a military hospital during the [Second World War](/source/World_War_II) before joining the [National Health Service](/source/National_Health_Service) as Cameron Hospital in 1948.[3]

A [tuberculosis](/source/Tuberculosis) treatment centre was added in 1955 and a 60-bed geriatric block was added in 1963.[3]
