Book excerpt: The Buildings of Scotland, will, when complete, guide the reader to all buildings of significance in Scotland. In each volume, a gazetteer describes and interprets buildings and developments of all dates and kinds, from ancient brochs and Roman forts to medieval abbeys and castles, classical country houses, Victorian churches, farms and factories, and twentieth-century tower blocks. An introduction explains the broader context, while maps, plans and a central section of over a hundred photographs bring the buildings into closer focus. Comprehensive indexes and an illustrated glossary that includes many Scottish terms turn these indispensable travelling companions into accessible reference works.
