Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Robert Gordon's Legacy is the story of Robert Gordon and his Hospital, or charity school, and College. Robert Gordon was determined to improve the educational provision of his age and this book explains the motivation which inspired him to leave his considerable fortune to benefit member of the burgess class who had fallen on hard times. It traces not only how, over the past two-and-a-half century, his Legacy has benefited the people of Aberdeen and beyond, but also the complex relationships between the School and the Technical College and its succesor, the Robert Gordon University. Furthermore, as the College developed into one of the largest and most successful of Scottish independent schools, the book tells of the rivalry which grew up with Aberdeen Grammar School.Using previously unexamined evidence, Brian Lockhart here makes a strong claim for Robert Gordon's Legacy to be recognised more widely for its significant contribution to Scottish education. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. George Heriot's Hospital and School has a unique place in the history of Edinburgh and in Scottish education. Its foundation in the third decade of the seventeenth century expanded the intellectual and charitable boundaries of the City and became a forerunner for many similar schools throughout the country. This history of the Founder and his School is the first since Frederick Bedford's formative work over a hundred years ago. Brian Lockhart puts a fresh and modern slant on the well-known facts and digs deep to unearth many other interesting aspects of the School's history. The life of George Heriot; the transition of his legacy into the 'Wark'; the early years and development of the Hospital; the link with the New Town; the expansion of education within Edinburgh; the Day School educational and sporting achievements - all of these are threads which run through Brian Lockhart's book, which is well illustrated and full of interest to Herioters and non-Herioters alike. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

THE PACKED WEIGHT OF THIS BOOK IS OVER 1KG, SO FOR UK FIRST CLASS AND INTERNATIONAL, ADDITIONAL POSTAGE COSTS WILL BE REQUIRED. This is the story of Hutchesons' Grammar School from the time of its foundation in 1641 until recent days when it has become one of the largest and most successful academic schools in the country. Brothers George and Thomas Hutcheson were the joint founders of the Hospital or Endowment for Pensioners, but the School, which was to co-exist with the Hospital, owed its existence to the benevolence of Thomas Hutcheson. The original Hospital School was built in the Trongate in the centre of Glasgow and housed twelve 'indigent orphanes' in a basement in the wing of a home for 'aigett and decreppit' men. It moved location and changed status several times in its history: it began as a charity school for primary-age boys, then became an elementary and secondary school for boys.
