Description
Conceived as a follow-up to the hugely successful England's Lost Houses, Scotland's Lost Houses builds a poignant and beautiful portrait of 20 magnificent country houses now lost for ever.
Published in association with Country Life the Lost Houses series taps into the enormous nostalgia and mystique that surrounds the stately homes and country houses that have vanished for ever. For these often spectacular houses, the photographs in the book are the only record that they ever existed.
Featured houses include Douglas Castle, Gordon Castle, Guisachan, Dunglass and Millearne among many others. The lavish photographic content derives primarily from the matchless archive of the National Monuments Record in Edinburgh, but also draws on Country Life's photographs, local archives, and even the remarkable albums taken by a Perthshire demolition contractor in the fifties as he sought to memorialise his handiwork in dynamiting country houses.
