Bio Notes: George Angus Sutherland was born on 17 February 1881 and articled to James Jerdan on 19 February 1900. During his four-year apprenticeship there he attended Heriot-Watt College and the Edinburgh School of Applied Art as well as studying sanitation and passing the Royal Sanitary Institute associate exam. Of the following four years, he spent two in Edinburgh and two in London. The exact details of his employment over this period have not been established but it appears that he worked first for Joseph Marr Johnston of Leith, assisting with the Leith Poorhouse and other warehouse, business and domestic work, before moving to London to join an untraced office and finally joining Arthur Bond of Cannon Street, of whom no more is known. He returned to Scotland to commence independent practice in 1909 at 10 Bridge Street, Wick.

Sutherland was admitted LRIBA on 20 March 1911; he did not enlist the support of any RIBA members as proposers but supplied references from Jerdan, his local minister John Spark, and a bacteriologist named D G Sutherland who was unrelated. His home address then was Longley Lodge, Wick, and he gave an additional residential address of the Arms Hotel, Brora. He died in 1920.
