The ten extraordinary houses and castles featured in this book have
all survived the vicissitudes of Scotland's history with almost all
of their original families still in residence. Each house also
represents a landmark in Scotland's architectural history, ranging
from the early seventeenth to the early twentieth century. The
architectural revelation is matched by sensational settings, which
merge designed gardens and landscape with the unparalleled wildness
and vistas of Scotland. All of these cherished houses are
chockablock with memories of the past, from swagger portraits to
sporrans, from vintage photographs to ancient weaponry, from
curling stones to fading chintz. James Fennell's masterly
photographs capture the distinctive atmosphere of each residence.
As he guides the reader on an intimate tour of the houses, Knox
recounts their histories and profiles the colourful lairds, clan
chiefs and nobles who have called them home.
