skyline. Beattie died before its completion, Andrew Robb Scott oversaw that task. Beattie died of a cerebral haemorrhage at his home, 13 Douglas Crescent in Edinburgh on 29 November 1898. His will left over £42,000, the largest sum ever left by a Scottish architect at that time, and (adjusted for inflation) probably still the richest architect Scotland has ever produced. He is buried in Dean Cemetery. Family Beattie married Iona Mary McCaskie (born 1847) but outlived her by almost ten years, as she died on 30 December 1889. He is presumed to have designed her monument where he now lies with her. They had one son, Ivor Hamilton Beattie (b. 1886; d. Suva, Fiji 1957) who forwent the family tradition of architecture and taught physics at Christ Church, Oxford. Ivor moved to Fiji in 1924 where he practiced medicine and designed the Lilac Theatre in Suva. Hamilton-Beattie Street in Suva was named in memory of him.
