This volume covers the vast area of the Highland region, the
Western Isles, Orkney and Shetland and highlights buildings and
monuments as varied as its landscapes: brochs, cairns and
ceremonial settings of standing stones; cathedrals and abbeys, both
medieval and Victorian; churches of every period and denomination,
their interiors and graveyards often housing unexpected delights.
Castles and tower-houses and a string of Hanoverian forts contrast
with prehistoric farmsteads and Georgian and Victorian farmhouses.
Country houses range from the display of ducal splendour at
Dunrobin, through the Georgian elegance of Cromarty and Culloden
and a mass of Victorian baronial, to expressions of the high ideals
and simple life of the Arts-&-Crafts movement.
