Sheila Robertson

Physiotherapist and generous Patron of the Arts and Education

Sheila Elizabeth Robertson, physiotherapist and arts patron. Born: 15 August, 1927 in Kelso. Died: 4 August, 2018 in Edinburgh, aged 90

After a distinctive international career as a physiotherapist, Sheila Robertson returned to her native Scotland to care for her ageing aunt and mother. Following their deaths Miss Robertson’s life centred around her great love of music, Murrayfield Church and her special friends. Her generosity held no bounds and she became a wonderfully supportive Patron of the Arts & Education giving many city organisations, both professional and amateur, financial help and all done anonymously, save her substantial gift to the Queen’s Hall when the hall’s Steinway Concert Grand was renovated.
