Gartnavel Royal Hospital is a mental health facility based in the west end of Glasgow. Originally opened as the Glasgow Lunatic Asylum in 1814 in the Cowcaddens area of Glasgow[1], it became the Glasgow Royal Lunatic Asylum in 1824[2].

The facility moved to new premises in Gartnavel designed by Charles Wilson in 1843[3], becoming the Glasgow Royal Mental Hospital in 1931 and the Gartnavel Royal Hospital in 1963[2].

In December 1972, the Gartnavel General Hospital opened on the same site[4].

As of 2006, some of the buildings are unused[5][6] however new facilities are under construction to be opened in 2007[7].
