Bio Notes: Stewart McLauchlan was born in 1879 and articled to Burnet Son & Campbell in 1896, remaining with John Burnet & Son after the dissolution of the partnership. During these years he attended Glasgow School of Art and at some point spent a month travelling in France and Portugal. In 1902 he moved to London to work for John Belcher (Burnet had probably recommended him through Belcher's chief assistant John James Joass) but at some unspecified date he moved to Liverpool to work for Briggs, Wolstenholme & Thornely at 51 North St John Street. He was admitted LRIBA on 9 January 1911, his proposers being Frank Gatley Briggs, Arnold Thornely and James Grieve, a Liverpool Scot. In the same year he commenced practice in Liverpool on his own account.

He was elected FRIBA on 30 November 1925, again with the support of Thornely but this time with his two other proposers being Edmund Bertram Kirby and George Hartwell Grayson, both of Liverpool.
