So the old hospital now has new residents and a name that means something. I think there are 18 beds for old people and there is a special alzheimers wing with escape proof doors. The hospital was orginally built over 100years ago in the time of Lady Cathcart who wasnt keen on the idea of a hospital on the island. She stipulated that it had to be built over the winter in the boggiest place she could find. Was it divine intervention or luck that it was the frostiest winter in living memory so the ground was workable instead of being a guagmire. So the hospital was built and run by nuns and called The Sacred Heart Hospital and the statue in the picture stood outside the front entrance. It was a great hospital, very friendly and hospitable. Anyone who married locally visited on their wedding day with their entourage and danced the wedding reel in the central reception area and gave out cake. It was great.

We were all worried that the statue wouldn't be returned when the new home was built on the site of the old hospital. The original building still remains. But it has been painted and looks great. I think Jesus hair was brown though and not white but a few years of being blasted by the wind will soon remedy that.
