Robert Adam

[LeoMunro]

Robert Adam. one of the 18th century's greatest architects: Can anyone tell me, show me, when, if, he was schooled in Aberdeen.

And, what was the life span of Alexander Marshall Mackenzie, another architect?

"Takk fyrir" [tack firrirr] as we say here in Reykjavik, when we are very grateful. Lm.

Many thanks HG, for joining in.

1847-1933: well, then he aint 18th century. And nowhere can I find that Robert Adam who was 1700s, and was one of the greatest architects of that period, "was schooled " in Aberdeen.

Yawl will have guessed that I'm on about today's WWI?

I'll put the kettle on! Thanks again everyone. Lm.

I think the answer you are looking for is James Gibbs who designed St Martin in the fields - thr royal parish church

Cheers. Now then, please -all of you- do carry on having a nice week-end.
