Scottish Division of the Royal College of Psychiatrists

The Scottish Division of the Royal College of Psychiatrists was established in 1869. The decision to create the division was first discussed at the 1854 annual meeting held in London when a letter from Dr Macintosh of Glasgow, suggesting the formation of a branch Association in Scotland was approved unanimously, but not implemented.

The suggestion by Dr Macintosh was re-visited at the 1868 London meeting when it was proposed that regular quarterly meetings rather than annual meetings be held, and that two of these take place in Scotland or the North.
