Overview
Richard Crichton (died 1817) was a Scottish architect operating in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was described as "competent and versatile".
Life
He was born around 1771, the son of James Crichton (d.1797) an Edinburgh mason.
He trained under John and Robert Adam, probably the best training an architect in 18th century Britain could hope for.
In May 1797 he was appointed as a burgess in the city of Edinburgh, reflecting the public esteem with which he was viewed.
