Tobias Bauchop or Baccup (c.1665 – 1710) was a 17th-century Scottish master mason responsible for several architctural masterpieces, mainly working as contractor to the eminent architect Sir William Bruce.
He was born around 1665 in Alloa in central Scotland, the son of Thomas Bauchop (b. 1639), a master mason and bridge builder, and his wife, Janet Meerson (b. 1650).[1]
He was apprenticed to his father and took over his projects from at least 1680.[2] From 1685 he had a working relationship with Sir William Bruce, Scotland's foremost architect of the day. From around 1695, he apprenticed Alexander Edward to provide working drawings for his projects. From 1699, Bruce, Bauchop and Edward jointly worked on the huge Hopetoun House project.[3]
