“Tn 1702 another Botanic Garden was established in Edinburgh 
adjacent to the College grounds, “apparently on the site of the 
present South College Street. This was the College Garden, and 
of it James Sutherland also became custodian.”—Anon. The 
Royal Bot. Gdn., Edinburgh, with Key and Plan. Edinburgh, 
June, 1912. 
In 1761 John Hope became King’s Botanist at Holyrood and 
subsequently Professor of Botany and Materia Medica at the 
University. He soon secured the separation of this chair into 
two and, as Professor of Medicine and Botany, he initiated (1776) 
the movement for a new Botanic Garden on the outskirts of the 
City west of Leith Walk, combining the collections at Holyrood 
and the Town Gardens, and obtained from the Crown a per- 
manent endowment for the new Garden. Under Robert Graham 
the Garden was transferred to the better site which it now 
occupies. 
By 1823 the growth of the collection necessitated a larger site 
and the Garden was removed to Broompark or Quacaplesink of 
14 acres, part of Innerleith property. Adjacent areas were added 
in 1865 and 1876. The Arboretum was initiated about 1881.
