Crawfurd Adamson is a noted figurative artist from Edinburgh, although he has spent much of his career in the south of England. He has exhibited widely and has paintings in major collections around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the National Fleming Collection in London. He came to note in the 1980s and 90s, with extensive international shows including Monaco, Hong Kong and Spain. His work fell out of fashion during the late 90s, as the art market took a preference to conceptual works, rather than traditional media such as oil painting or pastels.

Archibald Crawfurd (1785–1843) was a Scottish poet.

George Crawford (1681-1748) was a Scottish genealogist and historian.
