History
The Edinburgh and East of Scotland College of Agriculture (EESCA) was formed in 1901 by representatives of the University of Edinburgh, The Royal Highland and Agricultural Society as well as representatives from a number of regional county councils. It incorporated the University of Edinburgh’s Chair of Agriculture, as well as its existing School of Rural Domestic Economy. Its premises were located in George Square at the University of Edinburgh, which were expanded in 1904. The college carried out the teaching of Agriculture and other allied subjects until 1990 when it was incorporated into SAC (Scottish Agricultural College).
