Old travel Blog photograph of Daniel Stewart's College in Edinburgh, Scotland. Daniel Stewart's Hospital was opened in 1855 by the Merchant Company of Edinburgh. Daniel Stewart, whose wealth came from India and was Macer to the Court of the Exchequer, upon his death in 1814, left a sum of money and instructions that, once it had reached £40,000 it should be used to create a hospital for needy boys within the city. The hospital was located on the current Queensferry Road campus, designed by David Rhind. The hospital was transformed into " Daniel Stewart's College " in 1870. The College has in its possession a medal dated 15 July 1870 presented to a John Stewart. The medal was gifted to the school by a Mrs Rose Connolly of Glasgow whose birthday is coincidentally also on 15 July.
