Life
He was born in Glasgow in 1902–03, the only son of Glasgow architect James Miller and his wife Emelina Henrietta Crichton. Miller was sent to boarding school in Edinburgh, being educated at Fettes College. He then studied art and architecture at St John's College, Cambridge. Returning to Glasgow, he was apprenticed in his father's office and studied at the Royal Technical College of Glasgow. Around 1932 he obtained a position in Sir Herbert Baker's office for experience. Around 1936 he returned to Glasgow and joined his father's practice; the practice then became James Miller & Son. He died on 14 May 1940 after a brief illness, at which point his father wound up the practice. He was buried in Hillfoot Cemetery in Bearsden, Glasgow.
