Hi there, this is a lovely tune by Phil Cunningham.
The notes are right in this ABC just the duration of some is not what it should be.
There are some notes that are played shorter, but if you look up the tune on youtube
or somewhere else you can figure out how to really play it.
If you play it exactly the way it’s written down here, it’ll be boring so don’t :-)
Have fun!

Presumably the title refers to the hospital in Dingwall, though there is one in Ontario.
You can hear the man himself play it here:

Mr Bain on fiddle on that one.
Anna Banana, your bar lines are a beat early.
First line should be more like:
A2|f3g e3d/c/|d2D2 F2A2|B3A/G/ A2D2|G6A2|
Chords played by Mr Cunningham are something along the lines of:
|D A |Bm D7 |Em A F#m7 Bm7|Em7 A7 |
