John James Burnet was born in Blythswood Hill, Glasgow on 31 May 1857. He was the youngest of the three sons of architect John Burnet and his wife Elizabeth Hay Bennet. John James was educated in Glasgow at the Collegiate School and the Western Academy, and at Blair Lodge Academy, Polmont. He was a Scottish Architect architect who was noted for a number of prominent buildings in Glasgow and London. Until 1935 he lived at Killermont, his Arts and Crafts house at Rowledge, Surrey. He then purchased a much smaller cottage, Woodhall Cottage on Woodhall Road, in Colinton, Edinburgh. Although he kept in touch with developments in the Burnet Tait & Lorne office, he was unhappy in retirement. The Burnet Tait & Lorne practice continued to thrive after his death, and under the leadership of Thomas Smith Tait, went on to become an influential force in Modern Architecture.
