Old Photograph Officers Training Corps Glenalmond Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of members of the Officers Training Corp at Trinity College Glenalmond located eight miles West of Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish school was founded as an independent school by William Gladstone and James Hope-Scott. It was established to provide teaching for young men destined for the ministry of the Scottish Episcopal Church and where young men could be brought up in the faith of that Church. It was originally known as the The Scottish Episcopal College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Glenalmond. The school opened its doors on 4 May 1847 to fourteen boys, though one boy, Lord Kerr, later Marquess of Lothian and Secretary for Scotland, arrived a day early. The first headmaster was Charles Wordsworth.
