The John Watson's Institution was a school established in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1762. The building was designed in the Greek Revival style in 1825 by architect William Burn, FRSE (1789–1870). Following the closure of the school in 1975, the building was left vacated for a number of years before becoming home to Modern One of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.
