George Heriot (15 June 1563 – 12 February 1624) was a Scottish goldsmith and philanthropist. He is chiefly remembered today as the founder of George Heriot's School, a large independent school in Edinburgh; his name has also been given to Heriot-Watt University, as well as several streets (and a pub, the Jinglin' Geordie, after his nickname) in the same city.

  • George Heriot (* 15. Juni 1563 in Edinburgh; † 12. Februar 1624 in London) war Goldschmied in Edinburgh, Schottland. Er wurde zunächst zum Goldschmied von Anna von Dänemark, der Frau von König Jakob VI. von Schottland ernannt, dann 1601 zum Goldschmied des Königs selbst. Als James die englische Krone erhielt (dann Jakob I. genannt), folgte ihm Heriot als Goldschmied, Juwelier und Bankier nach London. Heriot stiftete unter anderem ein Hospital in Edinburgh. Nach ihm und James Watt ist die Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh benannt. (de)
