-The University [[Opening_of_Edinburgh_University,_1583|opened in 1583]] and first classes of the university were held in Hamilton House known as the Duke's Lodge. In 1582 a site that included St Mary in the Fields was acquired. Many new buildings and extensions were made to the site of Hamilton House after 1616. Two prominent stages of building for the University were those undertaken by [[Robert Adam]] and [[William Henry Playfair (1790-1857)]]. In 1869 the site next to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary was acquired to construct a new [[Medical School]]. Building on this project was completed by the end of the 19th century.

 The early 20th century saw the acquisitions of the [[King's Buildings]] site, and the drift of science from the central area to new purpose-built facilities there.  In the mid 20th century major developments took place in the central area, including many new buildings in and around George Square, such as the [[Sir Basil Urwin Spence (1907-1976)|Basil Spence‏‎]]-designed [[Main Library]].  The early 21st century saw saw the bulk of medical teaching switching to new facilities adjacent to the new Infirmary at [[Little France]].  Other sites have been added to the campus as a result of the various mergers and the early 21st century has seen a growth of the campus at [[Easter Bush]].

 The University was at the centre of European Enlightenment in the 18th century. By 1722 a [[Faculty of Law]] had been established. The first medical Chair had been established in 1685 and was closely followed in the first half of the 18th century by six more. Four more medical Chairs were created in the 19th century. New Chairs in other Faculties were not established after 1760 until the latter half of the 19th century when they followed in rapid succession, continuing in the 20th century, including those resulting from merger.
