Bio Notes: Andrew Lindsay Miller was born in 1847, the son of James Miller, provision merchant and his wife Mary Lindsay. He was articled to Alexander M Gow about 1862-63 and thereafter to Thomas Halket prior to obtaining a place in the office of John Burnet Senior. From an early age he was a close firend of James Sellars, of which he wrote an affectionate memoir after his death in 1888.

Miller commenced practice in Glasgow c.1873. He lived in Cambuslang where he also kept an office. His clients were mainly in Cambuslang but his specialisation in School Board work brought many commissions in Glasgow and East Dunbartonshire. In Glasgow he was secretary of the architectural section of the Glasgow Philosophical Society, and was responsible for the lecture programme, giving many of the lectures himself. He was an excellent photographer and made his own lantern slides.

A Lindsay Miller's son James Miller (born 1879) was articled to his father from 1895 to 1900, remaining as assistant until 1903 when he became a partner. He continued the practice alone after his father's death later in the same year, retaining the existing name of A Lindsay Miller & Son. His office immediately prior to the First World War was at 19 Blythswood Square, which must have caused some confusion with the more famous James Miller's at 15 Blythswood Square. He was admitted LRIBA on 24 June 1912, his proposers being Alexander McGibbon, Andrew Balfour and George Bell II. At that date his home address was The Bisque, Cambuslang.
