Robert Macfarlane Cameron

Robert Macfarlane Cameron RIBA DL (1860–1920) was a 19th/20th century Scottish architect, specialising first in public houses and later in cinemas.

He was born on 23 July 1860 at 93 South Back of Canongate (now known as Holyrood Road) the son of Robert Cameron.

A recession in the Scottish building industry caused him to work as a furniture designer in Kirkcaldy for 2 or 3 years, but in 1885 he then bravely opened his own architectural practice in Edinburgh, based at 20 George Street.

He lived his final years at 53 Great King Street, a magnificent Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh's Second New Town.

The grave lies close to the main north south entrance path, on its east side.
