Andrew Granger Heiton (born Andrew Heiton Granger; c. 1862 – 11 June 1927) was a Scottish architect. [1] He was prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Several of his works are now listed structures.
Andrew Heiton Granger was born around 1862, the son of John Granger, a farmer in Pitcur, Perthshire. He was educated at Perth Academy and Fettes College. [1]
Granger was articled to his uncle, Andrew Heiton, in 1876, became his assistant in the early 1880s, and eventually his partner. [1] [2]
Heiton became semi-retired around 1891, and Granger took over the practice. [1]
Heiton died, of a suspected stroke, in 1894. Upon inheriting the business and the estate, Granger reversed his middle and last name, becoming Andrew Granger Heiton. [1]
After serving in the First World War, Heiton had trouble producing drawings for clients due to health issues. He formed a partnership with John Sibbald McKay, who had previously worked as his assistant between 1913 and 1915. McKay continued the practice after Heiton's death. [1]
In his younger years, Heiton was a prominent rugby player and cricketer, playing for Perthshire CC. [1]
For a period, Heiton and his uncle lived at a double villa named Craigievar and Darnick (itself now Category B listed), [13] on Kinnoull Terrace in Perth, [14] and in one of the same name in Darnick, Roxburghshire. [1]
He married Catherine Dunn, daughter of W. H. Dunn of Melrose. They had a daughter, Judy. [1]
During the First World War, he served as a captain in the Black Watch. He was commanded with guarding the Highland Main Line between Perth and Inverness. It was a role that affected his health, due to his exposure to the wintry weather. [1]
Heiton died while holidaying in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, in June 1927. [1]
