Robert
William Kinloch, a Calcutta merchant, died in 1812 and left the residue of his estate to the Corporation. The estate was to be invested for the benefit of "poor and disabled Scotchmen in distress, who may have lost their legs or arms, eyesight, or otherwise wounded in the army or navy, in the service of their country". By 1886 the bequest was supporting 254 pensioners. The Kinloch Bequest is still active today, providing Scottish disabled servicemen throughout the UK with pensions.In 1915 Allan William Freer bequeathed the residue of his estate to the Corporation. The income from the estate was intended "for the aid of subscribers who in later years have become reduced through ill-health or business reverses". Another servicemen's charity managed by the Corporation is the St Andrew's Scottish Soldiers' Club Fund. This fund specifically helps soldiers of the Aldershot Garrison in Hampshire, wherever they might be serving. In 1812 a school fund was set up. By 1882-3 the Corporation was paying part or the whole of the school fees for children under thirteen of poor Scottish parents. Bursaries are today awarded by the Corporation to children of the Royal Caledonian Schools and student loans to Scottish students at London's universities and colleges.
