John Borthwick Barbour was a doctor of medicine, gaining his MD in 1865. Upon his death on the 12th February 1877, he bequeathed the residue of his personal estate (subject to the life-rent of his widow) to the University of Glasgow for the foundation of a scholarship for the promotion of original research in Anatomy or Physiology. Barbour stated that the free annual income, of around £200, should be paid to a member of the University who was undertaking a Master of Arts course, or a Bachelor of Science course. The regulations for the scholarship were approved by the Senate in 1908. The usual tenure of the Barbour Scholarship was two years, but a scholar could be reappointed for a further period provided they did not hold it for more than four years. The scholarship appears to have run until c1980.
