Scottish Houses and Gardens: From the Archives of Country Life

Quick Overview

This book is an unrivalled collection of Scotland's finest houses in their final golden age, before the destructive forces of the twentieth century swept so many away and emptied others of their contents. Here are the famous palaces and castles, from Holyroodhouse and Glamis to Inverrary and Culzean, recorded in photographs of timeless authority. Here also, are the fragile ensembles of 18th century houses: Arniston, Newhailes, Drum, shown with their gardens, plasterwork, tapestries, furniture and paintings. Most breathtaking of all is Hamilton palace and its incomparable collections photographed months before the house was demolished and its treasures scattered. Ian Gow has selected over 200 of "Country Life's" finest photographs of some twenty houses which show the splendour of the Scottish house. This is the 2nd title in a new series of paperbacks of the sumptuous "Country Life" series, which is an unrivalled archive of Scotland's finest houses in their final golden age. It is illustrated with the pick of "Country Life's" archive of photographs of Scottish houses taken over the past hundred years.
