The original Hutchesons' Hopsital was erected in 1660 after George Hutcheson
of Lamb Hill left an endowment stating his wishes for a hospital to be built for sick
and old men. His brother Thomas Hutcheson later added to the endowment that the new
building should also accommodate a school for orphaned boys.
The hospital stood at the Trongate until it was demolished in 1795 and in the same year
the Patrons of the Hospital purchased grounds on Ingram Street.
