Synopsis

The Highland House Transformed examines the domestic architecture of the Scottish Highlands, exploring the distinct character of the houses and villages of the Highlands, their architectural sameness, and how they relate to the history of the region. In the Highlands and Islands the construction of hundreds of new farmhouses, cottages and planned villages through the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was a key element in a revolutionary process of agricultural improvement that permanently transformed the landscape. This book discovers these changes that affected the Highlands and Islands forever.
