He travelled in Belgium, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Switzerland and France from June to August 1922, and commenced his studies at the Glasgow School of Architecture in October of the latter year. He was engaged with John A Campbell & Alexander D Hislop from May 1924 to October 1927, but it is unclear whether this was a late apprenticeship or his first appointment as an assistant. Further travels took him to Paris (March and April 1926), and to Holland, Germany, Italy, and again to Switzerland (July and August 1927). He passed the qualifying exam in Edinburgh in July 1928, and was admitted ARIBA later that year or early the next, his proposers being John Thomson, Thomas Harold Hughes and Neil Campbell Duff. His nomination papers do not give a business address but state that he was living at 'Ellangowan', 13 Newlands Road, Glasgow. He died on 24 May 1977, prior to which he had been living in Montreal. | Private and Business Addresses| The following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes |  | Ellangowan/13, Newlands Road, Newlands, Glasgow, Scotland | Private | 1928 * | | |
