description: "Sir William Bruce of Kinross, 1st Baronet, was a Scottish gentleman-architect, \"the effective founder of classical architecture in Scotland,\" as Howard Colvin observes. As a key figure in introducing the Palladian style into Scotland, he has been compared to the pioneering English architects Inigo Jones and Christopher Wren, and to the contemporaneous introducers of French style in English domestic architecture, Hugh May and Sir Roger Pratt."
