Abstract
Robert Mylne (1733–1811) never had the social standing, and subsequent ability, to secure the prestigious architectural commissions of his Edinburgh contemporary Robert Adam (1728–1792). Consequently, despite his numerous worksforthe Duke of Argyll and other successes such as St Cecilia's Hall in Edinburgh, 1761–3, his career was predominantly involved with civil engineering projects. Pitlour House in Fife represents one of his few complete house commissions and offers an opportunity to consider Mylne's severe, puristform of neo-classicism in an architectural context.
