Ailsa Hospital is still fully open and functional, and a charming wee place it is too.
I don't see Stracathro in Tayside on the list, although that's probably because it was largely a later 'hutted' development, a bit like Law Hospital. It does, though, have (or did, I haven't been there in a good ten years so it might be shut now) a very large mansion house attached, which was used as staff accomodation for a while. I'm told that said staff used to have sliding contests down the handrails of the impressive staircase.

If I'm right Law, Bangour General (not Village) and Stracthro were all built to the same design as emergency war hospitals as dispersed huts to minimise bomb damage. Law for many years still had the old bomb shelters on the end of the ward blocks.
The back end of Mearnskirk Hospital was the same with hutted accomodation, though I think it was actually for naval personnel.
