5.0 out of 5 stars
The 'Bible' of Scottish castles,
By Mr G Mason (Glasgow, Scotland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Castellated and Domestic Architecture of Scotland - 5 Volume set. (Hardcover)
Absolutely magnificent, these intrepid architects travelled the length and breadth of Scotland at the tail end of the 19th c making detailed architectural drawings of as many of Scotland's castles as they could. This is the ultimate reference work for all those interested or writing about Scottish castles, or their architecture. In five hard back volumes, £150 is a bargain, you will be astounded by the detail and amount of information provided, complete with historical data. The introductory chapters of Volume 1 detail the development of castle architecture throughout Europe, before concentrating on the Scottish style. The remainder of the work details specific castles, before providing appendices in Volume 5 on secondary subjects, such as town houses, churches, sundials, and Master Masons. A required reference for castle enthusiasts anywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars
an absolute must,
By G NIXON (PRESTON, LANCS United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Castellated and Domestic Architecture of Scotland - 5 Volume set. (Hardcover)
A superb reference work! With exceptional attention to details the two writers take the reader on a compulsive tour of the medieval buildings of Scotland, blending historical detail, architectural fact and copious illustrations to create a collection that is essential to every serious student of castles. It also contains details on structures that can simply not be found elsewhere and totally justifies its hefty price tag. It is worth every penny.
