George Watson's College, formerly George Watson's Hospital, was founded in 1741. It was originally situated opposite George Heriot's Hospital, now George Heriot's School, on Lauriston Place. It moved a short way to the west to the Merchant Maiden Hospital building when its original site was taken over by the Royal Infirmary in 1879. The school moved again in 1932 to its current site on Colinton Road.
