John and Isabella MacDougall Bursaries
The John and Isabella MacDougall Bursaries were created by the will of Isabella MacDougall of Perth (1806-1883) and funded by ‘Miss Isabella MacDougall’s Trust’. The bursaries were for the benefit of meritorious students from Perth attending the arts faculty at the University of St Andrews, the University of Edinburgh or the University of Glasgow. The bursaries were to be held for three years and were not to exceed £50 every year.
Isabella inherited her wealth from her brother, Duncan MacDougall, who was a merchant as well as partner in both the Central Bank of Scotland and the Perth Banking Company, so his wealth may have had connections with international trade and commerce.
The trust seems to be no longer active.
