INFORMATION TAKEN FROM THE ARCHITECTURE CATLOGUE:
ARCHITECT: Alexander Roos, 1850s
REFERENCE:
SCOTTISH RECORD OFFICE:
The proposed Temple of Decision Letter from Alexander Roos [fl 1830-1858]. Architect, to O Tyndall Bruce.
He considered that if the site where the Temple was to stand was of rock, steps could be cut out of the rock and so save expense. He believed that Mr Bruce wished the temple to have a Greek pediment although he himself favoured a Roman.
