Robert Greenlees

He was employed at the Glasgow School of Art as a pupil teacher, both teaching and studying.

In 1863 the headmaster of the school, Charles Heath Wilson, retired and Greenlees was appointed his successor.

[2] Greenlees advocated for the attendance of women pupils at life classes, and appointed four female teachers at the school.

[2] Greenlees also introduced the teaching of nautical draughtsmanship – a number of designers at the Clyde shipyards were graduates of the school.
