Heriot-Watt University originated in 1821 as the School of Arts of Edinburgh, the world's first mechanics institute. It became a university in 1966, after which it continued to expand, outgrowing its location in Chambers Street, so the new campus at Riccarton was built. The university now has multiple campuses.
