Bio Notes:	Andrew Mackie Meldrum was from Dundee. In or about 1870 he was taken into partnership by John Young of Perth, who had married his cousin Catherine Mill Meldrum, and of whom he had probably been a pupil. A Dundee office was opened for Meldrum which was initially reasonably successful but the practice over-reached itself in promoting the Queen's Hotel in Nethergate, Dundee, a speculation based on information from the District Engineer's Office in Perth that the new Caledonian Station would be sited immediately to the south of it. Because of over-commitment on the Glasgow Central Station project and the failure of the City of Glasgow Bank, the Dundee station did not proceed at that time while the subsequent severe recession affected trading. The partnership was dissolved in 1882, Meldrum joining the family firm of waterproof, India rubber, umbrella and bag manufacturers at 13 & 15 Reform Street. Meldrum never practised architecture again.
