Online Exhibitions/ResourcesPortraits from the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh BoardroomThese portraits were originally located in the Board Room of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh site at Lauriston Place. They capture aspects of the history of the hospital in a number of interesting and sometimes suprising ways. Their lives were as different from one another as they are from our's today. Their assumptions about health, sickness, living and dying were not the same as our's. However, what they do have in common with us is a shared involvement, great or small, with the Royal Infirmary, one of the oldest in terms of its foundation (1729) and history, and now one of the most modern in terms of the new building located in the Little France district of Edinburgh.
