Bio Notes: Andrew Grant was born on 8 October 1878 and articled to John Robertson from 1893 to 1898, attending classes at Inverness Technical School. In 1898 he moved to D & J R MacMillan in Aberdeen, taking classes at Gray's School of Art and in 1899 to the office of James Garvie of Gourock which enabled him to study at Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College under Gourlay and McGibbon. In 1903 he moved again to South Shields to work for Joseph Hall Morton, returning to the Glasgow area in 1905 to work for Alexander McGregor Mitchell in Coatbridge, perhaps to study under Bourdon. In 1907 he emigrated to Toronto to work first for Darling & Pearson 1907-08 and then for George M Miller. In 1910 he returned to the Tyneside area to work for E Grantney (or Gatney?) of Wallsend before returning to Canada to rejoin Miller in the same year. He was admitted LRIBA in the mass intake of 20 July 1911, his proposers being Joseph Hall Morton of South Shields and Andrew Sharp of Toronto and Andrew Rollo of London, both fellow students at the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College.
