A number of Scottish teachers were brought out [William Robertson who became the pastor in Swellendam; William Dawson; Andrew Murray, who became the Dutch Reformed pastor in Graaff-Reinet; Robert Blair; Archibald Brown and Rattray]
James Rose-Innes was sent to Uitenhage, where he established a leading school. He later went to Cape Town and the newly established S A College School.
