Excerpt: Dr. Gray's Hospital is an NHS hospital in Elgin, Moray, Scotland. It is administered by NHS Grampian. The hospital was founded as a result of a bequest by Dr Alexander Gray (d. 1807), who was born in Elgin but worked as a surgeon for the East India Company. His will was contested by his family, but eventually his bequest of 20,000 'for the establishment of a hospital in the town of Elgin for the sick and poor of the county of Murray (Moray)' was proven in the Court of Chancery, and work on building the hospital took place between 1815 and 1818. The hospital opened on 1 January 1819. A 22m. redevelopment of the hospital, which is situated at the western end of the town's High Street, took place between 1992 and 1997. It now provides a full range of acute services for the Moray region. ...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=5731071
