<dc:title>Anderson's Institution of Elgin</dc:title>
<dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Anderson's Care Home was first opened in 1832 following the remarkable bequest of Andrew Anderson to his home town of Elgin. As a child, he lived a very harsh existence, sleeping in the ruins of the Cathedral with his widowed mother, relying on the generosity of local people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After joining the East India Company's private army as a young man, he quickly climbed the ranks and made a fortune from his conquests. Leaving a generous £70,000 in his will to provide a home for fifty children where they would be educated sufficiently to enable them to earn a living and to give a home to ten aged persons, Andrew obviously remembered his roots.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Category A Listed Greek Revival style to a design by Archibald Simpson (architect of St Giles Church), Anderson's is now a lively care home with Heritage Garden.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
