Product Description

Synopsis

This book offers in-depth coverage of Glasgow and the Clyde, Lanarkshire, Strathkelvin, Dunbartonshire and Renfrew. Care has been taken to cover every castle in the area and provide detailed information on the history of ownership and the site.'


From the Author

History, families, plans, photos, pencil drawings...........
The most comprehensive work ever on the castles of this historically important area of Scotland. My search to find the site of the manor house at Cardross where Robert the Bruce died began thirty years ago. The site has still not been positively identified, but over 300 other castle sites have. There is detailed coverage of the major sites in the area, such as Dumbarton, Craignethan and Bothwell. But there are also the other numerous fortified houses and castles of the area, both extant and long vanished. I have attempted to identify every castle site in the area. My careful research is reflected in the entries which provide as much detail as possible on each site, including family,local and national history, architecture, legends, ghosts, and visitor information. Maps and detailed descriptions of the locations will assist your exploration of The City of Glasgow, Renfrewshire, The Lennox & East Dunbartonshire, North Lanarkshire, and South Lanarkshire. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. This is the book I always wanted to read, but no one had written it!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent wee book, 24 Oct 2002
By Levan (Gourock, Scotland Scotland) - See all my reviews
There are many books around that list Sctottish castles, unfortunately most either concentrate only on a few famous castles (mainly those open to the public) or provide only a cursory listing of the barest facts. This book is different, it is well researched and brings together information that I have been unable to find in any other published work. For the area it covers, the book is also comprehensive - the book provides information on castles (such as grid references and brief description) even where there is no discernable trace of the castle remaining today. Quite telling, is that the book's description Castle Levan even provided snipits of information that I didn't know about - and it's my home!

Perhaps someone should persude the author to write a similar work about one of the other areas of Scotland.
