Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Short description Douglas Forrest is a Scottish retired architect.[1] He studied architecture with Andy MacMillan,[2] and Шаблон:As of, had been practising as an architect for over 35 years.[3] He describes his area of interest as "architectural archaeology", and seeks to preserve historical features of buildings when renovating them for modern use.[3] His work in renovating buildings in the north east of Scotland has won awards from the Aberdeen Society of Architects and from Aberdeenshire Council.[3]

Forrest worked with architectural designer Kit Martin on the renovation of Cullen House between 1982 and 1989.[4] He also oversaw the restoration of the clock and steeple of the former church in the nearby town of Cullen, Moray in 1986.[5] He has worked on a project to save Wardhouse, an abandoned Palladian mansion near Insch,[1][6] and on a scheme to convert the ruins of New Slains Castle into holiday accommodation.[7][8]

Forrest's design for the club house at Trump International Golf Links, Scotland drew criticism from MacMillan for its old-fashioned architecture. The design was defended by the secretary of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, who argued that the building was well-suited to its purpose, and praised the quality of the specified materials.[2]
