Ailsa Hospital is a mental health facility located in the southeastern outskirts of Ayr, South Ayrshire, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Ayrshire and Arran.
In 1864, the Dundee-based architectural practice Edward and Robertson won the commission to build the hospital. Construction began in 1868 and the hospital opened as the Ayrshire District Asylum on 28 July 1869. The total cost of building the 230 bed hospital was £30,000. Two ward wings were added in 1879, the recreation hall was extended in 1886 and the wings were extended again in 1894. Two villas were completed in 1899 and a separate hospital block, designed by John Bennie Wilson, was added in 1906.
