The Princess Royal thanks people involved in creating NHS Louisa Jordan hospital
The hospital has a capacity of up to 1000 beds for Scotland
The Princess Royal has thanked everyone involved in creating an emergency hospital for coronavirus patients.
NHS Scotland staff and building contractors from across Scotland constructed NHS Louisa Jordan in Glasgow in just under three weeks, with the work completed by April 19.
The hospital, at the Scottish Events Campus, has an initial capacity of 300 beds but can be expanded to more than 1,000 if needed.
In a video message which was also posted on the royal family's Twitter account, Anne thanked those involved in the project.
She said: "May I offer my congratulations to everyone who has made it possible to open the NHS Louisa Jordan Hospital in Glasgow.
"Construction work only began on the 31st of March and was completed on the 19th of April, an astonishing achievement by contractors and all the NHS staff who were involved in the project.
"The role of this building is about providing spare capacity which will ensure support to the whole of the NHS in Scotland, and importantly will give confidence that there are enough facilities available for whatever happens now, or in the future."
