The Dictionary of Scottish Architects is a publicly available online database that provides biographical information about all architects known to have worked in Scotland between 1660 and 1980, and lists their works.[1] Launched in 2006, it was compiled by a team led by Professor David Walker, now Emeritus Professor in the School of Art History at the University of St Andrews.[2][3]

The database includes all the known works of architects based in Scotland, but only the Scottish works of English and Irish architects are included.[4]

The database, which is available free of charge,[2] is now managed and fully funded by Historic Environment Scotland.[5]
