Fight blight: A practical guide to the causes of urban dereliction and what people can do about it

Kaye & Ward

The Scottish Town in the Age of the Enlightenment 1740-1820

This heavily illustrated and innovative study is founded upon personal documents, town council minutes, legal cases, inventories, travellers' tales, plans and drawings relating to some 30 Scots burghs of the Georgian period. It establishes a distinctive history for the development of Scots burghs, their living patterns and legislative controls, and shows that the Scottish urban experience was quite different from other parts of Britain. With population expansion, and economic and social improvement, Scots of the time experienced immense change both in terms of urban behaviour and the decay of ancient privileges and restrictions. This volume shows how the Scots Georgian burgh developed to become a powerfully controlled urban community, with disturbance deliberately designed out. This is a collaborative history, melding together political, social, economic, urban and architectural histories, to achieve a comprehensive perspective on the nature of the Scottish Georgian town. Not so much a history by growth and numbers, this pioneering study of Scottish urbanization explores the type of change and the quality of result.

The Scottish Chateau: The Country House of Renaissance Scotland

Sutton Pub Ltd

In this work, the author overturns the theories that Scottish Renaissance country houses were merely 'castles' or fortified houses, alongside a country left behind in a backwater, and reveals 16th-century Scotland as vivid, colourful and European.
