Threat to isle’s historic surgery

It took a decade-long campaign and £5.5 million to transform a B-listed building from an eyesore into a thriving community hub on a small island in the Firth of Clyde.

The Isle of Cumbrae’s historic centre, Garrison House, is now the site of a museum, library, cafe and, crucially, the island’s only GP surgery, with a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week medical practice and dispensary service.
