The thing's you find.......

.......when you're waiting for a lift! I was wandering around the grounds of the Astley Ainslie hospital when I came across this sculpture. The title of the sculpture is 'Health Services' by a well-known Edinburgh artist Edith Simon.
The grounds are really well kept and I have wandered around before but never come across the sculpture.

The history bit -

The Astley Ainslie Hospital opened in 1923. A Mr David Ainslie, who died in
1900, left a sum of money for the purpose of building and endowing a
hospital or institution for convalescents from the Royal Infirmary of
Edinburgh. He wanted it to be called the Astley Ainslie Institution.
When the hospital opened there were 14 beds for female convalescent
patients. Over the years the hospital has expanded and now has beds for
the rehabilitation and continuing care of older people. The wards and
other buildings are named after famous doctors, nurses and
administrators, or to commemorate people who have had a significant
association with the hospital.
