The first full revision of the first of the volumes for the Buildings of Scotland series   This is the first fully revised and expanded guide to the buildings of Lothian since Colin McWilliams pioneering volume of 1978, with new colour photography, maps, and plans to accompany the unrivalled coverage of the area. Lothian surrounds the capital city of Edinburgh, which has done much to influence the character of its buildings. Among these are some important medieval relics, including the internationally famous Rosslyn Chapel, the royal Renaissance palace at Linlithgow, and the ruins of great castles and tower houses.   Among major country houses, none are more splendid than Hopetoun and the ducal seat of Dalkeith Palace but Lothian also has the extraordinarily well-preserved Newhailes and mighty Gosford House. This is also an area of picturesque small towns and resorts along the Firth of Forth with outstanding villas for the Edwardian elite, and rural villages of unspoiled character, preserving remains of their agricultural heritage. The industrial legacy is important, including not only one of the most complete collieries in Scotland but also the world-famous Forth Rail Bridge. This volume is an essential reference for visitors and residents alike.

Recenzijas

Superbly catalogued in the newly revised Lothian edition. . . . This guide highlights some stunning ecclesiastical architecture across the Lothians.Simon Heffer, The Telegraph

Sixty-five years and numerous authors later, the Buildings of Scotland series has now been completed with this magisterial, 2-inch-thick 15th volume. . . . Extensive resurvey and research, and now with illustrations, plans and colour photography.Mary Miers, Country Life

Splendid illustrations. . . . McWilliams prose and scholarship have been respected, and this very handsome volume is a more than welcome addition.James Stevens Curl, The Critic

[ A] joyous tome. . . . An unexpectedly indispensable guide.Richard Bath, Scottish Field

Beautifully edited, illustrated and produced, these magisterial books comprise one of the great publishing feats of the age. With so many authors, all with divergent expertise and styles, such consistency, precision and understated flair is down to Yales editor Charles OBrien.Colin Donald, The Herald
