		Anderson, although only in his forty second year, had already acquired a considerable reputation, and was increasingly regarded as the most likely successor to David Bryce, then in advancing years, as Scotland's foremost architect[3].
		Anderson's solution reveals re-oriented pews, a new hall and session house, and reflecting ecclesiological taste, a chancel aisled and windowed in a sympathetic late-Gothic style, and which would have been one of the first of its kind in Scotland.

	Edinburgh University and the Monumental Tradition by Clive B. Fenton
		Rowand Anderson can be said to take a museum approach to architecture which parallels the Nineteenth Century conception of education.

		Anderson was able to indulge his interest in polychromy with different sandstones and, although the external orders are reduced to incidental punctuation of triforate windows, some impressively monumental interior spaces were achieved and a classicism of sorts was acknowledged.
