Andrew Heiton (3 April 1823 – 3 March 1894) was a Scottish architect.[1] He designed several notable buildings in Scotland, mostly railway stations and country houses.
Career
Heiton served as an apprentice under his father, who had moved to Perth. He then worked with William Burn and David Bryce in Edinburgh, before returning to practice with his father in the mid-1840s.[1] John Murray Robertson became their apprentice in the mid-19th century.[1] The duo built or added to several railway stations, including that of Stirling and Perth. They also served as Perth City Architects from 1856, succeeding William Macdonald Mackenzie. Heiton Jr. continued alone after the death of his father on 8 August 1858.[3][1]
He inherited Darnick estate, in the Scottish Borders, restoring its 16th-century tower.[3]
Heiton was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (FRIBA) on 23 June 1879, his proposers being John Honeyman, John Baird and James Salmon.[1]
