Presents 26 historic castles and manors in the land of ancient legene that inspired Sir Walter Scott and Shakespeare's Macbeth. The selection of houses reflects the development of architectural style in Scotland, from old tower houses such as Cawdor and Traquair to the spectacular baroque of Drumlanrig and the pioneering classicism of Kinross by Sir William Bruce. A timely chronicle of the living history of these great houses, beautifully photographed by Christopher Simon Sykes, with interiors that invite to sit and enjoy a cup of tea.
