Basic Biographical Details

Name: William Baillie
Designation:  
Born: 18 February 1893 or 18 February 1895
Died:  
Bio Notes: William Baillie was born on 18 February 1893 (or 1895? - unclear on GSA roll) and, so far as we know, was unrelated to the William Baillie born in Perthshire in 1875. He was articled to Lennox & MacMath in 1910, studying at Glasgow School of Art and Royal Technical College. On completion of his apprenticeship he spent two years as an improver with John Hamilton and his son Arthur at 112 Bath Street. Probably after war-time work - he does not appear to have served in the forces - he spent three years in 'various offices' probably in London as it was there he passed the qualifying exam in June or July 1922. He was admitted ARIBA later that year, his proposers being John Hamilton, Colin Sinclair and Alexander Nosbet Paterson. Thereafter he practised for a time from his home in Scotstoun but his subsequent career is as yet unclear.
