William Trotter
William Trotter was born into a family of merchants in 1772, descended on the maternal side from the family of John Knox. He became a member of The Merchant Company in 1797 and by 1809 he was sole proprietor of the firm Young & Trotter. Accounts from the firm survive for over fifty patrons including the marquesses of Graham and Tweeddale the earls of Cassillis, Dumfries, Hopetoun, Lauderdale, Traquair and Panmure the Lords Arniston, Hailes and Milton the baronets James Clerk, William Forbes, John Hall and Alexander Kinloch and the lairds of Ardwall, Balbirnie, Boqhan, Cairnfield, Drummelzior, Freswick, Kemnay, Kilbagie, Langton, Largo, Menziesfield, Moncraig, Newliston, Prestonhall, Saughton and Stair. 

Often regarded as the most eminent of all Scottish cabinet makers, his success was in part due to his appreciation for his client's taste. Using the finest quality materials, Trotter developed a distinctive Regency style typically characterised by bold carving, bead moulding and reeded legs and supplied furnishings to some of Scotland's most important houses and institutions including: numerous apartments in the Palace of Holyroodhouse Dumfries House Mount Stuart, Edinburgh's Parliament House, Assembly Rooms and Register House. Trotter worked with various partners in Princes Street until his death in 1833. The management of his shop continued under the title of 'Heirs of Wm Trotter' and later under the name of William's son, Charles, until it closed in 1852.
