Stratheden (Gaelic: Srath Aodainn) is a hamlet 2 miles west of Cupar, and just north of Springfield, in Fife, Scotland. The hamlet comprises a psychiatric hospital, Stratheden Hospital, and Stratheden Cottages, which were originally built to house the hospital staff.
The hospital was built as the Fife and Kinross District Lunatic Asylum in July 1866. It has also been known as Cupar Asylum and Springfield Asylum; it has been called Stratheden Hospital since January 1949, after the creation of the NHS . History of Stratheden on the Fife Direct website
