  Responsible for Three of Scotland's Leading Independent Schools

George Watson’s College for boys was founded as a charitable hospital in 1741 by the Merchant Company from the bequest of a successful Edinburgh merchant and financier, George Watson. In 1871 a girls’ school, George Watson’s Ladies’ College was founded as the Merchant Company schools grew in popularity and demand increased. The two schools merged in 1974 to create the co-educational school at Colinton Road and today George Watson’s College also has a nursery department and junior school.
