Living
In Scotland
Living
in Scotland Scotland is justly famed as a land of colour
and romance, but its image, in the eyes of the outsider, is
often one of cliches. Tartans, mountains, lochs, gloomy castles
and humble crofts make up the Scotland of the tourist brochures.
Yet while these have their place in the total fabric, Scotland
from the inside offers a tapestry of infinite variety, unexpected
and continually dazzling. This splendid book with nearly 300
richly-coloured photographs looks behind the facades of great
houses, small castles and inner-city dwellings. With the exception
of Mackintosh's masterpiece at Helensburgh, now owned by the
National Trust for Scotland, all the properties included are
private homes. The result is a fascinating insight into the
treasures and tastes of Scotland, photographed by Fritz von
der Schulenburg with his well-known flair and discrimination.
The styles range from traditional to modern, encompassing all
those features that are unique to the Scottish way of life.
