Full Description
Site of Medieval Hospital. A hospital was founded in Montrose some time before 1507 when it is recorded in a charter, Preceptor M. Patrick Pantere [Paniter], the charter also listing some of the property belonging to it at that time. In 1518 the hospital appears to have been given to the Dominican friars who moved from the friary (NO75NW0020). However, but in 1524 the king ordained that the friars should return to their former house as the situation of the hospital in the public street led to their services and devotions being interrupted. They appear to have still been in occupation in 1559 however, as in that year the Lords of the Secret Council ordered the ejection of the friars and the restoration of the hospital. In 1570-1 all the properties of the Dominicans passed to the burgh of Montrose. The hospital was in ruins by 1793 but traces were still visible in the mid-19th century in the Sandhaugh (a name which also occurs in the 1507 charter), within the garden ground on the west side of Murray Street (NO 7148 5825). Site now occupied by 20th century development. Carved heraldry panels (Paniter Panels, now in the NMS) reused in a private house in Montrose in the 19th century are thought to have come from the hospital.
