Leanchoil – continuing over a century of service
to the Forres community

Leanchoil is a treasured landmark in Forres, Moray, which served the community for over 125 years. Once a bustling cottage hospital, its doors closed in 2018 and has since lain empty.

Not for much longer.

Leanchoil Trust, with the support of the people of the Forres area and our funders, is working to bring this amazing property back into service for the community.

Leanchoil Trust, Forres Health & Wellbeing

Leanchoil will be a place where innovative health facilities will meet the needs of the many in our area. We know breathing new life into this special facility is ambitious, but our community has shown its desire to save Leanchoil and create a place that will serve us once again.

This unique building and beautiful grounds will offer activities and services to support wellbeing, social engagement, volunteering, employment and learning for all ages, bringing long-lasting benefit to the people of Forres and its rural communities.
