The John Watson's Institution was a school established in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1762. It was based in the building which is now Modern One of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, designed in the Greek Revival style in 1825 by architect William Burn.
In 1762 John Watson, an Edinburgh solicitor and Writer to the Signet, left the residue of his estate for charitable purposes for children in the Edinburgh area. A refuge was established which eventually became John Watson's Institution, commonly known as John Watson's School.
