Lorimer, Sir Robert S(toddart)
(b Edinburgh, 4 Nov 1864; d Edinburgh, 13 Sept 1929). Scottish architect. He trained with Robert Rowand Anderson, H. M. Wardrop (1856–87) and G. F. Bodley, before establishing a practice in Edinburgh in 1893. He soon attracted attention for his plain white cottages (1893) in Colinton, Edinburgh, which combined features of the Scottish Baronial style with English Arts and Crafts principles adopted by Lorimer after he met William Morris in 1889. These cottage designs appeared regularly in The Builder from 1893.
