Whitehill House is a Tudor-revival building designed by David Bryce and William Burn; according to the Gazeteer for Scotland, it was built in 1844 as a home for Wardlaw Ramsay, proprietor of the nearby Whitehill Colliery (which was later acquired by the engineer Archibald Hood). ^[1] In World War I it was used as a Red Cross hospital. ^[2] Until the late 1990s, Whitehill was run by Roman Catholic Church as St. Joseph's Hospital for disabled children.
