Born in the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh on 4 March, 1756, Raeburn was educated at George Heriot's and initially became an apprenticed goldsmith in the city in 1772.
He moved into a studio in 32 York Place in the centre of Edinburgh in 1798 - the high windows which he installed to give him as much daylight as possible, are there to this day.
Raeburn was elected to the Royal Academy in 1815 and was knighted in 1822 (at Hopetoun House, during the visit of King George IV to Scotland).
