John Burnet & Son was an architectural partnership formed by John Burnet (1814-1901) and his son, John James Burnet (1857-1938) in Glasgow, Scotland in 1882. In 1886 John Archibald Campbell (1859-1909) joined the firm which then renamed John Burnet, Son & Campbell. The association with Campbell was dissolved in 1897, and the practice reverted to its previous name, John Burnet & Son. Meanwhile by then John Burnet had retired. Following the death of his father in 1901, John James Burnet continued the practice with the title unchanged.
In 1905 the practice opened office at at 1 Montague Place in London in the name of J. Burnet.
In 1919, Thomas Tait (1882-1954), who had worked as Burnet's chief assistant, and David Raeside (1882-1930), his office manager, were taken into partnership and the practice title was changed to Sir John Burnet & Partners.
