Shock as top Scots architect dies at 52

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2004 / April 28

One of Scotland's most acclaimed architects and hoteliers has died unexpectedly, aged 52. Self-made millionaire Andrew Doolan, the man behind Edinburgh's Point Hotel, had been feeling unwell for a few days and was rushed into hospital on Monday, but died suddenly. The cause of death is not yet known. Friends and colleagues today paid tribute to the man who not only designed and ran his own hotel, but also sponsored Scotland's richest architectural prize to recognise other pioneering design work.
