He was admitted as an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects on 12 March 1894. In 1898 he returned to his home town, spending the remainder of his career running his own practice (in partnership with Adam Legge Johnston from 1920) until his death on 28 October 1923. He was a successful competitor in several architectural competitions, and his first listed work upon setting up his firm in Kirkcaldy was alterations to The Mechanics Institute, Dysart (now a Category B listed building). Among his principal works were Strathearn House (now the Strathearn Hotel, a Category B listed building) for the industrialist and philanthropist James Wishart, North School, Kirkcaldy; Viewforth High School, Kirkcaldy; blocks of the District Hospital and Kirkcaldy Burgh Infectious Diseases Hospital (now demolished parts of Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy); and Pathhead Baptist Church. His partner Adam Legge Johnston continued the practice until his death in 1955. (en)
