Bio Notes:	Alexander Johnstone may have been an architect working in the west and south west of Scotland in the first two decades of the 19th century.

The drawings include several of existing country houses in Scotland, for example Ardgowan, Coilsfield and Langholm Lodge. Only one is signed by Johnstone.
