Synopsis
Excerpt from Trinity College and Trinity Hospital, Vol. 1: A Historical Sketch
The first fifty years of last century told very severely upon the monetary condition of Edinburgh, and the Charity of Trinity Hospital was no exception to the rule.
Thirdly - The removal of the Church and Hospital for the purpose of accommodating the North British Railway is the next distinct epoch, and dates back nearly half-a-century ago. It was requisite to relate the bitter feud which so long prevailed in the Town Council Chambers and the Law Courts as to the re-building of the edifices and the appropriation of the money received from the Railway Company. I have thought it right, lest there should arise misapprehension or misconstruction of the views of parties, to give the decisions of the Law Courts, and the opinions of both appellate Courts in extenso; and I have endeavoured to explain the peculiar social, political, and religious position of the various contending parties at the time.
