Scottish
Houses and Gardens: From the...
Archives of "Country Life." It is exactly 100 years
since Country Life began to commission leading architectural
photographers to record the great country houses of the British
Isles. This book features some 20 of the most important and
remarkable houses in Scotland from the archive.
The
Scottish House : eclectic and unique...
interiors. Cawdor Castle? Traquair, Hopetoun and Drumlanrig?
Yes, Ianthe Ruthven's book does explore half a dozen of Scotland's
more famous castles and country houses, but mostly it's devoted
to buildings which are strictly off the usual tourist trail.
Some of these take the form of Edinburgh town houses and farmhouses
and croft houses in Fife and the Highlands and Islands, but
many architectural enthusiasts will doubtless be delighted to
discover that most of the 176 pages of 'The Scottish House'
are in fact devoted to architecturally significant homes to
which the general public usually have no, or at best very limited,
access.
Scotland's
Buildings (Scottish Life &...
Society) Scotland's Buildings takes the concept of buildings
to include structures built for any functional purpose. The
perspective of the volume is thus very wide. It particularly
looks at dwellings, community buildings and work places.
The
Lighthouse Stevensons: The...Extraordinary Story of the
Building of the Scottish Lighthouses by the Ancestors of Robert
Louis Stevenson. "Whenever I smell salt water, I know that
I am not far from one of the works of my ancestors." Robert
Louis Stevenson The 14 lighthouses dotting the Scottish coast
were all built by the same family that produced Robert Louis
Stevenson, Scotland's most famous novelist. Surprised? Bella
Bathurst throws a powerful, revolving light into the darkness
of this historical tradition. I highly recommend this book.

This series provides an introduction to the archaeological heritage
of Scotland, detailing the story of one part of the country.

and best preserved monuments, and aim to encourage the reader
to explore further using the full-colour section on day excursions.
This volume details skilfully carved Pictish cross-slabs, great
abbeys and castles, and the imposing cathedrals of Arbroath

The
Scottish Chateau: The Country House... of Renaissance Scotland.
This attractive book offers a reinterpretation of the swaggering
Scottish Renaissance country house. The author reveals sixteenth-century
Scotland as vivid, colourful, flamboyant and European, thus
reversing a cultural heritage. Using contemporary descriptions,
archives and documents, mixed with reconstructions of buildings,
this book is a lively read illustrated by portraits, gardens,
interiors and landscapes.
