The Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture was founded on 27 May 1826 at Stewart's Rooms, Waterloo Bridge. The 13 founding artists consisted of 11 painters, one architect and one sculptor. Originally named the Scottish Academy, it became the Royal Scottish Academy following the granting of a royal charter in 1838.
The RSA maintains a unique national position as an independent institution led by distinguished artists and architects to promote and support the creation, understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts through exhibitions and associated educational events.

The Academy held its first exhibition in 1827, and in 1835 obtained permission to lease space in the Royal Institution building for an annual exhibition. In 1838 the Academy obtained its Royal Charter (and was now known as the Royal Scottish Academy) and continued to grow in importance and status throughout the 19th century, training young artists and caring for its collection for the benefit of students and the wider public.

The founders of the RSA also had a strong desire for Scotland to have its own National Gallery, and as they continued to expand and make demands on space at the Royal Institution, it was clear that new premises were required. So when a new gallery was designed and built in 1850, the Royal Scottish Academy, to which it moved with the newly established National Gallery of Scotland (today part of the National), hosting its exhibitions in the gallery, as well as having a columned hall, library and school of life in the building.
