The Royal Scots College (Spanish: Real Colegio de Escoceses) is a major seminary in Salamanca, Spain, for the Catholic Church in Scotland.
The deed of foundation stipulated that the college was for students "Scottish by birth, preferably those of superior character and virtue and those who promise more fruit in the welfare of souls, and they have to spend whatever time may be necessary in studying Grammar and Philosophy, Theology, Controversies and Sacred Scripture, so that when they are well versed in all of these, they may proceed to the said Kingdom of Scotland to preach the Gospel and convert heretics... when they leave the said seminary for this purpose, others are to be received in their place having the same end, and thus the matter will continue for as long as the aforesaid conversion may require.
In 1726, following the insistence Queen Isabel and the Imperial Ambassador, King Philip V dismissed his chief confessor and appointed the rector of the college, William Clerk, to the post.
In September 2020, a 1634 edition of The Two Noble Kinsmen, the last play by English playwright William Shakespeare, was reported to have been discovered at the Royal Scots College's library in Salamanca, Spain, which it is believed to be the oldest copy of any of his works in the country.
John Geddes had recognized the need for a house in the country for the health of the students and benefit of the community and his successor Alexander Cameron began purchasing vineyards near the village in 1787.
