Bryce, David (1803-1876), was a leading Scottish architect. Most towns in Scotland have examples of his work. Bryce worked mainly in the Gothic revival style known as Scottish Baronial and became one of the chief exponents of this style. Bryce’s designs in Scottish Baronial include Fettes College, the Royal Infirmary, and the Bank of Scotland, all in Edinburgh. He also designed more than 100 country houses.
Bryce was born on April 3, 1803, in Edinburgh, Scotland, and educated there. He went into partnership with the Scottish architect William Burn. Burn later moved to London, and Bryce took over the whole practice in 1844. Bryce became a member of the Royal Scottish Academy, an association of artists, in 1836. He died on May 7, 1876.
