Catalogue Note
John More Peddie was born in Edinburgh on 20 August 1853, the son of an architect. He was known after about 1870 as John More Dick Preddie and as such jointed the family firm of architects, Peddie & Kinnear, in 1879 having been assistant to Sir George Gilbert Scott in London. Peddie had a considerable practice and among his most striking buildings in Edinburgh is the Caledonian Station Hotel, now the Caledonian Hilton. He died in 1921.
