Robert Adam
(1728—92)

Architect

Born in Kirkcaldy to a family of architects: his father and three brothers all went into the profession. Adam’s neoclassical work, with its unified exteriors and interiors, was fashionable in its day and has recently again been recognised as the work of genius. Some of his buildings include Culzean Castle in Ayrshire and Charlotte Square in Edinburgh.
