Lithography in 19th century Scotland.....

Were Lithographers listed with any guilds or societies in Scotland? Did they apprentice? I have an ancestor, George Heriot Perkins who has his occupation listed as Lithographer. I doubt that he is on a level of Charles Hullmandel, but am curious to find out if he was used by any artists of his day.
