Castles, both ruined and occupied, are amongst the most deeply
evocative buildings in the Scottish landscape. This book considers
the history of the conservation and restoration of a number of
those buildings against the background of what the idea of the
castle has meant to Scots over the centuries. The authors draw on
their extensive knowledge of castles across Scotland, as well as on
their practical experience in advising on recent conservation and
restoration projects. They begin by briefly considering the history
of castles and by exploring their role in Scottish society, before
moving on to consider the ways in which they were absorbed within
later building complexes as domestic requirements and social
aspirations changed. A series of detailed case studies then
examines the issues surrounding the conservation and restoration of
castles in modern times, which it is hoped will be of value for
everyone with an interest in castles, including those who might be
considering undertaking work on one.
