<p><div>This&nbsp;is&nbsp;the first fully revised&nbsp;and expanded&nbsp;guide to&nbsp;the buildings of&nbsp;Lothian&nbsp;since Colin McWilliam's pioneering volume of 1978, with&nbsp;new colour photography, maps and plans&nbsp;to accompany the unrivalled coverage of the area. Lothian surrounds&nbsp;the capital city of Edinburgh, which has done much to influence the character of its buildings.&nbsp;Among these are some important medieval relics, including the internationally-famous Rosslyn Chapel,&nbsp;the royal Renaissance palace at Linlithgow and&nbsp;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&nbsp;volume is an essential reference for visitors and residents alike.</div></p>

<p>This title, one of the Historic Scotland series, traces by means of surviving buildings and archaeological remains, the intense military activity in Scotland during the Jacobite era. It brings to life the men who formed part of the first standing army, and covers sites existing today together with the problems of preserving them. The authors examine the adaptation of the ancient royal castles, mighty new forts like Fort William and Fort George, smaller barracks at Ruthven, Inversnaid and elsewhere, Wade's and Caulfield's military roads.</p>

For centuries, Scotland’s castles protected her people from invasionbut eventually most lay in ruins. In the 1820’s, artist William Daniell drew the remains of these once-grand structures. For the first time, these illustrations appear in a fascinating collection alongside more recent photos of ruins and restorations, and accompanied by fascinating tales of these fortresses. The stories paint a uniquely human portrait of the castle, which was central to the lives of all Scots whatever their social station, in peacetime and war.
