Bangour Village Hospital: Occupational Therapy Unit 2, Bangour Village, Dechmont

2 storey main building with pitched slated roof flanked by single storey rendered stone buildings with multiple gables. Modern flat-roof extensions have been added to North and South.

Originally constructed as a bakery - adjacent to the main kitchen complex - within the Bangour Village Hospital. Latterly converted for use as a centre for occupational health therapy.

Bangour Village Hospital is noted as the best surviving example in Scotland of a psychiatric hospital created in the village system of patient care. Accepting its first patients in 1904, the site continued in use as a hospital until 2004 and was twice converted to serve as a military hospital 1915-1922 and 1939-45.

13 April 2015: External inspection finds a building much extended but with an interesting core. The overall condition is fair but part of one of the main building's skylight is of concern.

Proposal of Application Notice for the redevelopment of the former hospital site was lodged with West Lothian Council in Jan 2015 ref: LIVE/0058/PAC/15. The complex is being marketed for sale through agents DTZ, with a dedicated website for interested parties at www.bangourvillage.co.uk.
