The Sycamore Circle

At the heart of Queen Margaret College stands the Sycamore tree, a cherished landmark that has quietly witnessed generations of school life. Students have gathered beneath its branches, celebrated milestones, captured memories, and carried a connection to QMC long after leaving its gates.

Strong, enduring, and deeply rooted, the Sycamore symbolises the values that connect our past, present, and future. It is this spirit of continuity and care that inspires The Sycamore Circle, Queen Margaret College's bequest programme.

A gift in your will is a lasting expression of belief in the future of the College and the young women who will learn, grow, and thrive here in the years ahead. By including Queen Margaret College in your estate plans, you become part of a community of supporters whose generosity will help shape opportunities for future generations.

Many people choose to leave a bequest as a way of honouring a valued teacher, remembering a loved one, expressing gratitude for their own connection to QMC, or helping provide opportunities for students who may otherwise be unable to access a Queen Margaret College education. A bequest may take many forms, including a percentage of an estate, a specific sum of money, property, shares, or other assets.

Those who choose to leave a gift to the College are welcomed into The Sycamore Circle, recognising their commitment to the future of Queen Margaret College and the enduring impact of their generosity.

We warmly invite you to explore how a bequest could reflect your own connection to QMC and the legacy you wish to leave. Whether you would like to share your QMC story, reconnect with the College community, or discuss your giving intentions in confidence, we would be delighted to hear from you.
