Basic Biographical Details

Name: Robert Stirling Reid
Designation:  
Born: 12 March 1883
Died: 16 October 1947
Bio Notes: Robert Stirling Reid was born on 12 March 1883, the son of Robert Carstairs Reid CE of J & A Leslie and Reid, Edinburgh. His mother was a daughter of James Leslie who had founded the practice. He was educated at Edinburgh Academy from 1893 to 1901, and was articled to Leadbetter & Fairley in the latter year, studying at the Edinburgh School of Applied Art. After completing his apprenticeship he remained as a junior draughtsman until 1907 when he moved to the office of Peddie & Washington Browne, but he returned to his former employers in 1909 as a partner following Leadbetter's semi-retirement, the practice thereafter being known as Leadbetter, Fairley & Reid. In the same year (1909) Reid was granted a commission in the 1st Lowland Brigade Field Artillery TA, having previously served in the Queen's Mounted Infantry, from which time onwards he was usually known as 'Gunner' Reid. He saw much service abroad in the First World War, commanding the 310th City of Edinburgh Battery, 78th Lowland Brigade, and reaching the rank of Colonel. In the Second World War he raised the Fifth Leith Company of the Home Guard, and was promoted to be Lieutenant-Colonel, second in command of the Edinburgh zone. According to Dr J S Richardson's obituary he was quite remarkably sociable.

Reid did not seek membership of the RIBA until the relatively late age of 47, being admitted LRIBA in early 1931, his proposers being John Begg, James Alexander Arnott and Ernest Arthur Oliphant Auldjo Jamieson. By that time he had succeeded Begg to the presidency of the Edinburgh Architectural Association, and was a Fellow of the RIAS. He was soon elevated to FRIBA, being elected by the RIBA Council in mid-March 1931.

Reid was President of the Edinburgh Archiectural Association and architect to the Edinburgh Academy and Loretto School. He was also an Assistant Master of the Merchant Company. He died on 16 October 1947.
