Interposed between the decline of ‘the Scottish castle’ and its revival as Scotch Baronial architecture, the contributors consider both private and public/civic architecture. They showcase the architectural reflections of a Scotland finding its new elites by providing new research, analysing paradigms such as Holyrood and Hamilton Palace, as well as external reference points such as Paris tenements, Roman precedents and English parallels. Typologically, the book is broad in scope, covering the architecture and design of country estate and also the urban scene in the era before Edinburgh New Town UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781474455282 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781474455282 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781474455282/original ER -
