The plaque is on the building which Dr. Elsie Inglis opened in 1904 as a maternity Hospice for poor women in the Old Town of Edinburgh. It is on the north side of the High Street, opposite St. Giles. I assume the plaque dates from the 1920s (or 1930s), when she was very much in the nation's consciousness because of the contribution she and her nurses made in Serbia and Russia in the Great War.
