Reviews

An ambitious and wide-ranging but closely argued and well referenced account of the complex interplay, over more than eight centuries, between castellated architecture in its original and revival forms and changing concepts of national identity in Scotland ... The authors are to be congratulated on maintaining an appropriate balance and pace across such a broad chronological span and such an intricately interwoven set of themes.
*The Castle Studies Group*

It is always a pleasure to pick up an elegantly written book, which wears its research lightly, yet doesn’t skimp on scholarship.
*Innes Review*

A rich and thought-provoking overview of Scotland’s pre-eminent national style.
