Originally published in 1980, this book examines the evolution of
the Scottish landscape from pre-historic times to the
mid-nineteenth century. It considers the way in which the
structural base of agriculture and the changing farming
‘system’ came to alter the Scottish rural landscape. This book,
with its focus on the underlying landscape processes, gives a
developmental view of landscape change. It therefore considers the
crucial question of the rate and pace of landscape change and
argues that the Scottish landscape was not the product of a few
brief phases of quite rapid development but rather the result of a
continual and gradual process of change. It also looks at the
regional variation of landscape change and establishes the
importance of regional linkages in the diffusion of ideas
especially in new technology.

This volume of essays explores the interaction of Church and town
in the medieval period in England. Two major themes structure the
book. In the first part the authors explore the social and economic
dimensions of the interaction; in the second part the emphasis
moves to the spaces and built forms of towns and their church
buildings. The primary emphasis of the essays is upon the urban
activities of the medieval Church as a set of institutions: parish,
diocese, monastery, cathedral. In these various institutional roles
the Church did much to shape both the origin and the development of
the medieval town. In exploring themes of topography, marketing and
law the authors show that the relationship of Church and town could
be both mutually beneficial and a source of conflict.
