Andrew Heiton was a well known Perth architect of the nineteenth century. Andrew was born in Inchture, Perth and Kinross, the son of Andrew Heiton, another architect, and Janet Lorimer. He had at least one brother, the younger Thomas Arthur Heiton. He served as an apprentice under his father, who had moved to Perth. He then worked with William Burn and David Bryce in Edinburgh, before returning to practice with his father in the mid-1840s. John Murray Robertson became their apprentice in the mid-19th century. The duo built or added to several railway stations, including that of Stirling and Perth. They also served as the Perth's City Architects from 1856, succeeding William Macdonald Mackenzie. Heiton Jr. continued alone after the death of his father on 8 August 1858. He inherited Darnick estate, in the Scottish Borders, restoring its 16th-century tower. He died on 3 March 1894.
