James Gillespie Graham (
1776 –
1855) was a Scottish
architect, born in
Dunblane. He is most notable for his work in the Scottish
Gothic style (sometimes called Scottish baronial), as at
Ayton Castle. His work was heavily influenced by that of
Augustus Pugin. However, he also worked succesfully in the
neoclassical style as exemplified in his design of Blythswood House near Glasgow.
Graham designed principally
country houses and
churches. He is also well known for his
interior design, his most noted work in this respect being that at
Taymouth Castle and
Hopetoun House. His principal works include St. Mary's Roman Catholic
Cathedral, the Highland Tolbooth Church in
Edinburgh (now
The Hub),
Cambusnethan House or Priory and
St Andrew's Roman Catholic Cathedral in
Glasgow. He was also responsible for the "Lands of Drumsheugh" which become part of Edinburgh's New Town; and for
Hamilton Square and adjoining streets in the then new town of
Birkenhead, England.
