Murdoch, James,-1826.
Glasgow: : Printed by Robert Anderson, 22 Ann Street.,
1874..
The successful Glasgow merchant, James Murdoch, died in 1826 and left £5000 for the creation and maintenance of a school for boys. It took until 1834 after protracted delays and difficulty, which involved allegations of embezzlement of allocated monies, to appoint a committee to oversee the work and complete the establishment of the first school. Eventually four "industrial" schools were established in St. Andrew Square, Blackfriars Street, Rottenrow Street, and Springburn.
