Abstract From 1898 to 1911, the Glasgow Style architect James Salmon engaged in a 'round the globe' correspondence to New Zealand with his émigré brother, Hugh Alexander Salmon. This article discusses the content of the Wee Troot's letters (as he was affectionately known). It reveals details of previously unknown projects and the development path followed by some of his most famous and significant buildings, including 'The Hatrack', 142a-144 St Vincent St, Glasgow. Based on this new information, the article also offers fresh insights on other Salmon buildings, the design methodology and working practices of the Salmon & Gillespie office and unveils for the first time the significance and closeness of his friendship with Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
