 Hutcheson's Hospital
The original Hutcheson’s Hospital ( built 1641–50 ) was situated on the north side of the Trongate. George Hutcheson, notary, banker and philanthropist, left money in his will for a hospital to be built for ‘poor old men’. His brother Thomas, lawyer and philanthropist, added money to this to include a school for ‘poor boys’, so Hutcheson’s Grammar School was born |
