David Bryce was one of Scotland\u2019s most celebrated Victorian architects and a central figure in the creation of the distinctive Scots Baronial style popular in the 19th century.\u00a0 He is best known for the sprawling and turreted country houses he designed across Scotland, which masterfully combined picturesque effects with the modern comforts and planning of the Victorian home.<\/p>\n

In Edinburgh he contributed several notable buildings to the cityscape, including the Royal Infirmary, Fettes College and the Italianate Bank of Scotland on the Mound.<\/p>\n

This conference will showcase the latest research on Bryce\u2019s life and work, celebrating him as a key figure in the history of Scottish architecture.<\/p>\n

Speakers will include Ralph St Clair Wade, author of a forthcoming volume on Bryce; Alex Bremner; Clarisse Godard-Desmarest; Ian Gow; and Aonghus Mackechnie.\u00a0 All are sure to bring fascinating insights into Bryce\u2019s career and the architectural world of 19th-century Scotland in which he worked.<\/p>\n

A drinks reception will be held in the evening, after the conference, at the Bank of Scotland on the Mound.<\/p>\n
