Description
This book takes a timely look at how Scotlands national politics have been expressed in its buildings, exploring the role the architecture of Scotland - in particular its world-famous `castle architecture - has played the ongoing narrative of Scots national identity.Scotch Baronial examines many of the countrys most important historic buildings - from the palaces left behind by the `lost monarchy, to revivalist castles and proud town halls - examining their architectural styles and tracing their wildly fluctuating political and national connotations. An introduction to a key episode in British architectural history, and a valuable resource for anyone studying the role of architecture in narratives of nationalism and empire globally, Scotch Baronial ends by bringing the story into the 21st century, exploring how contemporary `neo-modernist architecture in todays Scotland, as exemplified in the Holyrood parliament, relates to concepts of national identity in architecture over the previous centuries.
