Opened in 1880 as a hydropathic sanatorium, the building was commandeered by the War Office in 1916 for use as a military psychiatric hospital. In 1920 it was bought by the Catholic Church and turned into a teacher training college, which it remained until the early 1990s. It then became part of the rapidly expanding Napier University. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craiglockhart_Hydropathic
