Alan Reiach RSA was born in 1910. He was educated at Edinburgh Academy and apprenticed under Sir Robert Lorimer. He was awarded the Andrew Grant Scholarship to the USA, USSR and Western Europe between 1935 and 1936 and assisted architect Robert Atkinson in London between 1936 and 1937.
Upon returning to Edinburgh, Reiach became one of the City’s most distinguished architects. Reiach chose projects he could best influence. One of these was the New Club on Princes Street for which he was commissioned in 1963. The design is recognised as one of the best of this period.
