Administrative History William Glashan (1903-1981) was a Scottish architect. He studied at the School of Architecture in Aberdeen from 1919, partly whilst serving his articles with George Bennett Mitchell. From 1928-41 he was chief assistant to Percy L Browne, Son & Harding in Newcastle-upon-Tyne before becoming a senior assistant with Cumberland County Council. In 1942 he started working for Cackett, Burns-Dick & Mackellar in Newcastle and later the City Architect’s Department in Newcastle. He returned to Scotland in 1944 working as a senior assistant with Carver Symon & Ross in Dundee, before moving to the National Coal Board in Edinburgh and in 1949 as Deputy Architect with the Northern Regional Hospital Board in Inverness, where he remained.
