Eveline MacLaren

Eveline MacLaren (1883–1955)[1] was one of Scotland's first women to complete her legal studies and graduate from the Faculty of Law at the University of Edinburgh in 1909[2] alongside Josephine Gordon Stuart. The Faculty of Law is now known as the Edinburgh Law School.[3]

The graduation ceremony was held on 2 April 1909 in McEwan Hall.[4] At the time of graduation, Eveline was not allowed to enter the legal profession and never became a full lawyer.[1]

Eveline did however carry out business under the name 'Duncan Smith & MacLaren' at 62 Frederick Street, Edinburgh.[5]
