Ernest Arthur Oliphant Auldjo JamiesonFRIBAMID (3 December 1880 – 10 April 1937) was a Scottish architect operating in the early 20th century. He specialised in country houses, largely for wealthy family friends. From after the First World War he also got many commissions from local authorities for social housing, plus several commissions related to hospitals and asylums.
In 1906, Jamieson became an architectural assistant in the office of Sydney Mitchell at 13 Young Street.[3] When Mitchell retired in 1909 Jamieson bought the practice and moved it to 1 Melville Street.[4] In 1912 his family moved to 14 Royal Circus in the New Town.
After the war he went into partnership with James Alexander Arnott to form Auldjo Jamieson & Arnott.
He retired due to ill-health in 1935 and died at Grey House in Murrayfield in 1937 aged only 56. He is buried in the 20th century northern extension to Dean Cemetery. The grave lies on the north wall near the north-west corner.
