Aberdeenshire: An Illustrated Scottish Architecture Guide
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
A substantial chunk carved out of central Aberdeenshire that stretches from the foothills of the Cairngorms, through the grain-girnel of the Garioch, to the coastal villages of Collieston and Newburgh. A landscape of rich farmland, small towns, country kirks and, above all, castles - places of strength, fortalices, lairds' houses, chateaux, palaces: examples of every form of medieval defensive and Renaissance domestic architecture can be found, for this is Castle Country - Kildrummy, Huntly, Castle Fraser, Leith Hall, Meldrum House. Classic Scots towns abound, amongst which Huntly is a revelation and Inverurie, Alford, Ellon Kintore and Oldmeldrum are rewarding. Improved farms, mills, kirks - even Modern Movement buildings, such as the elegant Inverurie Hospital - are here... Ian Shepherd is Principal Archaeologist with Aberdeenshire Council. He edited the 'Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland' for many years, and is author of the 'Grampian' volume in the series, 'Exploring Scotland's Heritage'.
