		Robert Mylne (1734-5 May 1811) was a noted Scottish architect and engineer, particularly remembered for his work in the late 18th century.
		Mylne was the grandson of a master stone-mason also called Robert Mylne (1633-1710), remembered particularly for his work as the King's Master Builder at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh.
		He returned to Britain in 1759 and almost immediately won a competition to design Blackfriars Bridge over the River Thames in London (beating a design by John Gwynn that was actively supported by Samuel Johnson).

		Mylne died May 5th 1811, and is buried in Wren's magnificent cathedral, of which he was several years surveyor, and of which this bridge affords a stately and imposing view.

		Between 1833 and 1840, the Bridge was thoroughly repaired by Walker and Burgess, at an expense of 74,035l., it is stated at a loss to the contractors.

	Caroline House, Edinburgh, Royston, Park, Granton, Robert Mylne, Scotland
		Caroline House was built in 1685 for Sir George Mackenzie, 1st Lord Tarbat (1630 - 1714) probably by architects Robert Mylne (1633 - 1710) and James Smith (c.1645 - 1731), but possibly with some input from Sir William Bruce (1630 - 1710).
		In 1683 Mackenzie bought the Barony of Royston which once boasted a castle, and quickly built what was originally known as Royston House, undoubtedly by diverting materials and labour from the reconstruction of the Palace of Holyroodhouse, with which the architects and Mackenzie were involved.
		Drew Parnell, current owner of Caroline House, has expressed his concerns over their treatment of Caroline Park Avenue, a historic route presumably dating from the building of Wester Grantoun (Castle) in the 13th century.

		He refers more than once to his own narrow circumstances, and from casual references by himself and some of his contemporaries, it appears that he instructed several of the nobility and gentry in the principles of heraldry, the earl of Carnwath, for example, being one of his pupils.
		That indefatigable copyist Robert Mylne had access to many of Nisbet's manuscripts, and in one of his copies, preserved in the Advocates' library, he designs Nisbet as "teacher of herauldrie," an epithet we shall find applied later on.
		Nisbet was present at the depositing of the regalia of Scotland in the crown room of Edinburgh castle on 26 March 1707.
