University of Dumfries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The last, and grandest, of Scotland's Royal Asylums was founded in 1839 by Elizabeth Crichton (1779- 1862), a wealthy local widow. Her intention to found a university was blocked by the existing Scottish universities; ironically, the site has recently become a remote campus for the Universities of Glasgow and Paisley.
