Bio Notes: Robert George Andrew Duguid was born on 6 October 1884 and was articled to William Liddle Duncan of Turriff for four years from August 1899. He remained for a further seven years as assistant, studying at Robert Gordon's College in 1909 and 1910. In August of the latter year he commenced practice on his own account at 26 Marischal Street, Peterhead.

He served in the armed forces in France, Belgium and Germany from 1915 to 1920, and on his return joined the staff of the Board of Agriculture for Scotland as an architectural assistant and surveyor. In 1923 he moved to Belfast to join the Ministry of Finance Works Department in the Government of Northern Ireland, working as an assistant under Roland Ingleby Smith on schools, barracks and other public buildings. He was still there when he was admitted LRIBA in early 1931, his proposers being Smith, R H Gibson and Edwin Riddell Kennedy. Duguid remained in Northern Ireland until at least the 1950s. James Edwin Duguid who shared his address was probably his son or even grandson. He studied architecture at Sheffield and was elected ARIBA in 1956.
