Bio Notes :
Thomas Brown of Uphall appears to have specialised in farm buildings and been employed on the Hopetoun estates among other jobs. In 1814 he was responsible for a 'new addition' (including a new dining room) at New Saughton or Cammo, Midlothian for James Watson, in 1827-30 he designed additions for Ormiston Hall, East Lothian for the 5th Earl of Hopetoun and in 1828-9 he altered and repaired Over Rankeillour House, Fife for General Sir Alexander Hope. Early in the 1830s either he or his son, Thomas Brown II, worked for William Adam at Blair Adam in Kinross-shire where he designed the Memorial (1833) and various gates and lodges. Temple Church, Midlothian was built in 1832 to the designs presumably of the elder Brown and the younger one altered Carrington Church, Midlothian in 1836. The latter is commemorated in Uphall churchyard. Thomas Brown II appears to have had at least one sister, Wilhelmina Caroline who died unmarried about 1876.
