According to its website, the Academy was founded in 1826 with several aims, including having an annual exhibition open to all artists of merit, and opening an Academy of Fine Arts to instruct students free of expense; the website does not give the founding name of the Academy. In 1838 the Academy received a Royal Charter and became the Royal Scottish Academy. Around 1910, the function of teaching art was transferred to the newly established Edinburgh College of Art. |
