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