David Bryce was born on 3 April 1803, in Edinburgh, the son of a successful builder. He was educated at the High School of Edinburgh, where he demonstrated considerable artistic aptitude. In 1825 at the age of 22 he joined the staff of the eminent architect William Burn. In 1841, at the age of 38, David Bryce became a partner of William Burn. They prospered until 1844, when a dispute between the two over a commission to build St Mary's Church in Dalkeith for the Duke of Buccleuch led to their dissolving the partnership, and to William Burn moving to London, England. Bryce, now firmly established as one of the leading architects of his day, continued in practise alone, briefly taking into partnership Robert Anderson in the 1870s and, after Anderson's retirement, David Bryce's nephew John Bryce. David Bryce died on 7 May 1876, and the outstanding commissions at the time of his death were completed by his nephew.
