That the Parliament recognises that 3 July 2018 will be the 290th anniversary of the birth of the renowned Scottish neoclassical architect, interior designer and furniture designer, Robert Adam; understands that Adam spent nearly five years in Italy studying architecture under masters, Charles-Louis Clérisseau and Giovanni Battista Piranesi, before establishing his own architecture firm in London where he developed the famous Adam style and the theory of movement in architecture; notes that Adam's first new-build home was Dumfries House, which was built 1750s for William Dalrymple, 5th Earl of Dumfries, which was reopened in 2008 to be used for public tours and for promoting education and employment in Ayrshire; considers that other notable works by Adam include Fort George near Inverness, the Royal Exchange in Edinburgh, as well as significant parts of Culzean Castle and Dalquharran Castle in South Ayrshire, and believes that Robert Adam’s influence in the first phase of the classical revival in Scotland and England was instrumental in the development of Western architecture, both in Europe and in North America.
