As the debate about Scottish independence rages on, this book takes
a timely look at how Scotland's politics have been expressed in its
buildings, exploring how the architecture of Scotland - in
particular the constantly-changing ideal of the 'castle' - has been
of great consequence to the ongoing narrative of Scottish national
identity. Scotch Baronial provides a politically-framed examination
of Scotland's kaleidoscopic 'castle architecture', tracing how it
was used to serve successive political agendas both prior to and
during the three 'unionist centuries' from the early 17th century
to the 20th century. The book encompasses many of the country's
most important historic buildings - from the palaces left behind by
the 'lost' monarchy, to revivalist castles and the proud town halls
of the Victorian age - examining their architectural styles and
tracing their wildly fluctuating political and national
connotations. It ends by bringing the story into the 21st century,
exploring how contemporary 'neo-modernist' architecture in today's
Scotland, as exemplified in the Holyrood parliament, relates to
concepts of national identity in architecture over the previous
centuries.
