THE
CASTELLATED AND DOMESTIC
ARCHITECTURE
OF SCOTLAND
FROM THE TWELFTH TO THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
BY
DAVID MACGIBBON and THOMAS ROSS
ARCHITECTS
_With about 1000 Illustrations of Ground Plans, Sections, Views,
Elevations, and Details. In 2 Volumes. Royal 8vo. Four Guineas
nett._
“One of the most important and complete books on Scottish architecture
that has ever been compiled. Its value to the architect, the
archæologist, and the student of styles is at once apparent. It consists
almost exclusively of what may be called illustrated architectural
facts, well digested and arranged, and constituting a monument of
patient research, capable draughtsmanship, and of well sustained effort,
which do the authors infinite credit.”--_Scotsman._
“Their descriptions are good, and their arguments always worth attention
and generally convincing.... The plans ... are clear and good, and by
themselves make the book a most valuable addition to the library of any
man who wishes to study and understand the defensive architecture of the
Middle Ages. The book has another value in that it preserves a record of
so many buildings in the state they are now. Many are neglected and
daily falling more and more into ruin.”--_Athenæum._
“No one acquainted with the history of Great Britain can take up this
neatly-bound volume ... without being at once struck by its careful
completeness and extreme archæological interest, while all students of
architectural style will welcome the work specially for its technical
thoroughness.”--_Building News._
“The authors merit the thanks of all architectural readers, professional
and amateur, for the production of a very well studied and illustrated
hand-book of a most interesting class of ancient buildings.”--_The
Builder._
“Careful observation and accurate description appear to specially
characterise this work.”--_British Architect._
“In its complete form the merits of the work are more apparent, and we
have no hesitation in saying that we consider it to be far superior to
any of the preceding books on the subject.”--_The Architect._
“A learned, painstaking, and highly important work.”--_Scottish Review._
“The best authority upon the architecture of Scottish Castles yet
issued.”--_Dundee Advertiser._
“To the intelligent readers of all classes, we can cordially recommend
it as a very interesting and suggestive book.”--_Daily Free Press,
Aberdeen._
“Messrs. MacGibbon and Ross now show in sketches of ground plans and
elevations such a series of domestic structures as not only indicates
the gradual progress of Scottish architecture from times comparatively
rude, but permits the development to be traced in such a way as
determines the stages of progress or ‘Periods’ into which its history
may be naturally divided.”--_Glasgow Herald._
“Highly interesting and picturesque work.”--_Edinburgh Review._
