Synopsis
The author examines how the Scottish country house was transformed by romanticism (including the "discovery" of the mythical bard Ossian by Macpherson) and the picturesque, then revived mid-19th century as "Baronial" haunts, before a large scale reoccupation and restoration from the late 1970s. The houses occupied a European tradition as "castle-wise country houses", with ornamental battlements, large pleasure gardens and lavish vestments. Properties featured include Crathes, the House of the Binns, the Palace of Huntly and the Earl's Palace in Kirkwall. The book also focuses on the lives of the occupants, including Sir James Hamilton of Finart, the Earls of Morton, Huntly and Arran, and the Duke of Chatelherault, and discusses important architects such as Robert Adam, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and David Bryce. Using contemporary descriptions, archives and documents, mixed with reconstructions of buildings and some humour, this book is a lively read illustrated by portraits, gardens, interiors and landscapes.

Hardcover. Black cloth, gilt letters on spine, blue & color illus. dust jacket, 312 pp., many BW illus. "It has long been held that the Scottish chateaux, perhaps the best known of Scottish buildings, were castles, defensive strongholds built in a country where the Renaissance architecture was commonly believed to be somewhat backward. As Charles McKean demonstrates in this radical reassessment of the development of the country house in Renaissance Scotland, however, the image of 'MacSavage' which has dominated our view of the country's architecture during the period is more myth than truth. On the contrary, the architectural demands of a cultured nation participating in European ideas were satisfied by a flowering of domestic architecture that symbolised its status and growing sophistication. In these 'castle-wise country houses' battlements were ornamental, their gunloops essentially unusable, and their large gardens indefensible, while their owners lavished time and money on clothes and inventions, chivalry and flamboyant architectural devices. . Well researched, elegantly written and including a wealth of superb illustrations from a diverse range of sources, [this book] provides a stimulating and enjoyable introduction to the nation's Renaissance architecture for the general reader. It will also provoke widespread debate and a reassessment of the architecture of the period among scholars." (dj). VG (slight scuffs and edge wear to dj, otherwise clean.).
