A collection of 20 essays, "as twenty-six of Britain's leading architectural historians join forces in an examination of the Scottish country house in all its many guises. From great classical houses like Hopetoun, to familiar castles such as Glamis and Craigievar, it covers a broad range of building styles from the late Middle Ages onwards, including much new research on significant but less familiar houses such as Kinneil, Relugas and Dunrobin. And while some chapters examine the work of the great names of Scottish architecture like Sir William Bruce, William Adam, Robert Adam, William Leiper and Sir John James Burnet, other lesser-known figures like David Henderson and John Paterson also appear, making this a comprehensive volume and a vital contribution to a relatively unexplored domain.'
