Peebles Hydro
Peebles Hydro is an early 20th century country house hotel and spa resort in Peebles, in the Scottish Borders at the south of Scotland. It is one of two hydropathic hotels left in Scotland, the other being Crieff Hydro in Perthshire.
The hotel opened in 1881, but burnt down and was rebuilt in 1907. It served as a hospital for injured service personnel during the First World War before reverting to hotel use. Peebles Hydro is a category B listed building, and is still operated as a hotel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peebles Hotel Hydro )〕
==History==
Peebles Hydro was opened by the Hydropathic Company in 1881 to provide water cures and hydrotherapy remedies (pain-relief and treating illness) to guests.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peebles Hydro )〕 It was one of many such hotels built in Britain during the second half of the 19th century. It was near to two railway stations: Peebles West railway station of the Caledonian Railway, later London, Midland and Scottish Railway, and Peebles East of the North British Railway, later London and North Eastern Railway. It began building in 1878. Work was completed early in 1881 at a cost of over £70,000. The architect was John Starforth (1828-1898), a pupil of David Bryce. The Hydro burnt down in July 1905 and was rebuilt by 1907, a building designed by the architect James Miller of Edinburgh, at a more moderate cost of £37,000 owing to the use of salvaged materials.
During the Second World War it was turned into a hospital, the 23rd (Scottish) General Hospital T.A. with 1,200 beds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hydro Hotel )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=QA World War Two Nursing )〕 It was taken over by Crieff Hydro in February 2014.
