Collins has a long and proud heritage with its foundation
in Glasgow, Scotland, by William Collins, a Presbyterian
schoolmaster back in 1819. In 1819 William Collins set up
his first printing press in the ancient Candleriggs of Glasgow.

1789 - 1853)

He was a key figure in the city's transition from a relatively
small manufacturing and university town into a great
commercial metropolis. William Collins, who counted the
Duke of Wellington among his associates, died in 1853
having secured the foundations of a business which
followed the traditional Scottish pattern of combining
printing and publishing as one concern.
