The ecclesiastical remains from pre~Reformation Scotland are plentiful though often much less known than their English counterparts. Many of them reach back to Celtic times and many, like the Abbey of Iona and the collegiate Church of St Giles in Edinburgh, are now in full use by worshipping communities and are familiar to tourists. With two exceptions where access is forbidden, Mr New has visited every building and site he describes. The great number of parish kirks that used to be served by their own 'colleges' of priests are all included and a vision is conjured up of a thriving network of religious pre~Reformation establishments providing service and centres of learning and prayer for a nation beset by constant power struggles and invasions. The monastic foundations since the Reformation in Scotland are sadly few but are fully covered as well. The reader will learn of the restored Priory of Pluscarden as well as the less time~worn buildings of Dumfries, Fort Augustus and Nunraw. Here is a compact book for the historically, spiritually and archaeologically curious. It is without rival and is plentifully illustrated with maps and plans. A glossary and useful appendices are also included. Anthony New is the author of Constable's guides to The Abbeys of England and Wales and The Cathedrals of Britain. He is a practising architect specialising in ecclesiastical and restoration work. Front cover: St Martin's Cross and Iona Abbey (photograph A.F. Kersting). Backcover:The Crown, St Giles, Edinburgh (photograph Anthony New).…
