Andrew Foulis (171218 September 1775) was a Scottish printer, brother of Robert Foulis. They worked in partnership as printers to the University of Glasgow publishing many books in Latin and Greek. Biography Andrew Foulis was the son of a Glasgow barber and maltman (brewer), named Andrew Faulls (or Faulds). Andrew Foulis, was intended to be trained for the church, and hence received the better education than Robert Foulis, who was intending to take up his father's trade as a barber.
