In addition to the buildings already mentioned, Adam designed a very considerable number of mansions for the first people in Scotland, as well as buildings for the use of the public. Among his works of the latter class, the Orphan Hospital, the George Watson's Hospital, and the Royal Infirmary, all at Edin- burgh, may be cited. Owing to the extraordinary extent to which he was employed as an architect, there is reason to think that he may have been obliged to perform some portion of his work in... a vicarious fashion : but he was a man of many parts, with considerable knowledge and marked ability, and his name will be remembered with those of other provincial architects of repute, as Carr of York and the Woods of Bath. In the year 1739, when eleven years of age, Robert Adam com- menced to attend at the High School, Edinburgh, where he remained until 1742. In the following" year he matriculated at the Edinburgh University, where his signature — "Robert Adams" {sic) — may be seen in one of the matriculation albums.
