An early morning view from the Necropolis across to the buildings of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. While the Necropolis first opened in 1833, the hospital has been based on this site since the 1790s.

One of the main blocks of Glasgow Royal Infirmary overlooking the Cathedral Precint. Designed by James Miller in a Beaux Arts style, it was originally named the Jubilee Block to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897.

Both Macewen and Pringle were great champions of women in medicine in an era when women were not widely accepted. Ellen Brown Orr is pictured with Pringle, 3rd row, 2nd and 4th from left.

If you have ever had surgery of any kind, there's a good chance you owe your life to the work Lister carried out while he lived here.

Both lifts in the multistorey carpark at #glasgowroyalinfirmary are broken. There’s no indication there are no working lifts for mobility impaired people to choose not to park there (not that there’s an alternative) It means disabled people may struggle to get to appointments. #nhs #nhsscotland #gri

The pathology department at #glasgowroyalinfirmary has a very special history. We were kindly gifted this plaque celebrating Prof John H. Teacher. Teacher was the very first St Mungo Professor of Pathology at GRI in 1909 & he created a pathology museum at the hospital - our museum isn't the first 😮😂

It was rescued when the hospital was closed in 2001, after 141 years serving the city, and can now be found in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary Musuem on Cathedral Precinct.

However, it didn't open until 1914, some 13 years after Queen Victoria's death, and 4 years after the death of her successor, King Edward VII.
