Francis Farquharson (1805–1878) was a Scottish architect/builder operational throughout the mid 19th century.

Life

He was born in Auchterarder on 21 October 1805. He was trained as a builder and began also doing design work, but does not appear to have had any formal training in architecture.

He moved to Haddington, East Lothian in 1833 to oversee the design and building of the County Buildings there, and settled there thereafter. In 1863 he became Provost of the town.[1]

He died on 16 December 1878 and is buried in the churchyard of St Mary's Collegiate Church, Haddington, against the northern wall.
