William Burn {{post-nominals|list=FRSE}} (20 December 1789 – 15 February 1870) was a Scottish architect. A talented architect, he received major commissions from the age of 20 until his death at 81. He built in many styles and was a pioneer of the Scottish Baronial Revival. LifeBurn was born on Rose Street[1] in Edinburgh, the son of architect Robert Burn. He was educated at the Royal High School. After training with the architect Sir Robert Smirke, designer of the British Museum, he returned to Edinburgh in 1812. Here he established a practice from the family builders' yard. In 1841, he took on a pupil, David Bryce, with whom he later went into partnership. From 1844 he worked in London, where he took on his nephew John Macvicar Anderson as a partner. In 1827 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, unusual for an architect, his proposer being James Skene. He resigned in 1845 following his move to London. In the 1830s he was living and working at 131 George Street in the New Town.[2] Burn was a master of many styles, but all are typified by well-proportioned simplicity externally and frequent stunning interiors. He was a pioneer of the Scottish baronial Revival with Helen's Tower (1848), Castlewellan Castle (1856), and Balintore Castle (1859). He died at 6 Stratton Street in Piccadilly, London[3] and is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery just on the edge of the path to the north-west of the Anglican Chapel.
