Practice Information

William Adam : Background

William Adam, father of famous Scottish architect Robert Adam, was born at Kirkcaldy in 1689.

In 1724 William Adam transformed Hopetoun House (Sir William Bruce, 1700) into a great Scottish Classical House and this remains one of his key works. William Adam was appointed in 1729 as the Surveyor of the Kings' Works in Scotland. Robert joined John as an architect apprentice to his father William Adam in 1746.

William died in 1748 and was buried at Greyfriars Churchyard, Edinburgh. Robert then became John’s partner in the family business.

John Adam was born 1721 and his brother James Adam in 1732.
