DESCRIPTION:
Standouts include the restored Liberton House, shown in dappled sunlight from its garden, as well as fishermen's cottages with boat-shaped "sterns" that defy the gales.. From the grand baronial style with its Italianate splendors to the Glasgow tenements once thought of as slums and now landmarked for preservation: through visually arresting photographs and an evocative text, feel the spirit of the Scottish home and the people who have contributed so much to the country's heritage
Nice companion to the Scottish Country House Book Jill Inanthe Rithven's The Scottish House: Eclectic and Unique Interiors, published in 2000, is a good companion to James Knox's recent Scottish Country Houses. The Knox book shows exteriors and some landscape shots of the featured houses in addition to their interiors; this book, as the subtitle indicates, focuses on the interiors only, though there is at least one image of the exterior. It covers 27 residences, only a few of which are well known and/or open to the public, at least at time of publication - Cawdor Castle, Delgatie Castle, Drumlanrig Castle, Hill House (Charles Rennie Mackintosh), Hopetoun House, Arthur Lodge, . Not too Fascinating E. A. Schimmelpfennig I found this book to be a bit disappointing. Nothing too new or original about it, and I have a good number of books on Scottish interiors. Anyway, it is interesting to thumb through with a cup of coffee.. Fabulous book, beautiful photos. Historic insights into landmark homes with beautiful photos that supplement this very informative volume. I really enjoyed reading the background information, too. It's definitely a keeper.
