William Robertson (1786 – 12 June 1841) was a Scottish architect. Born in
Lonmay in Aberdeenshire, he started his career in
Cullen, Moray,[1] then moved to
Elgin around 1821, where he practised for the rest of his life.[2] He established himself as the foremost architect of his period north of Aberdeen,[3] described by
Charles McKean as "possibly the north of Scotland's first native classical architect of substance."[4] His practice was continued by his nephews Alexander and William Reid,[1] and their partners and successors J and W Wittet.[5]
