This engaging little book gives the lowdown on 100 of Scotland's buildings, from the iconic to the simply curious. Retired architect Roger Emmerson visited every one of the structures listed, allowing them to 'tell their own' captivating stories. Small enough to fit into a bag or large pocket, this book now travels everywhere. SUNDAY POSTI am overwhelmed by the outstanding range of your scholarship, plus your unremitting polemic...In any event, the book is an exceptional achievement by any standards… perhaps it is more than one single study, but rather a compressed work of a lifetime! KENNETH FRAMPTON, architect on Land of StoneThis densely researched and lucidly written book is an important contribution to the history of Scottish culture in general and architecture in particular.
