James McKissack (1875–1940) was a prominent Scottish architect known for his innovative designs, particularly in cinema architecture during the early 20th century.
Career
James McKissack initially worked with his father, John McKissack, in the family firm McKissack & Rowan. After the firm dissolved in 1890, James completed his apprenticeship under his father. He also studied at the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) from 1890 to 1894, where he refined his skills. His education and early work with his father set the foundation for his later successes as an architect, particularly in cinema design, continuing his father's practice after his death in 1915.
