Lothian, a region surrounding the capital city of Edinburgh, holds a rich architectural heritage that has been shaped by its historical and cultural significance. This comprehensive guide, the first full revision of its kind since Colin McWilliams' pioneering volume in 1978, presents a comprehensive and updated exploration of the region's buildings. With a wealth of new color photography, detailed maps, and comprehensive plans, this guide offers an unparalleled perspective on the architectural wonders of Lothian.
Lothian's proximity to Edinburgh has played a pivotal role in shaping its architectural character. The region boasts a remarkable array of medieval relics, including the internationally renowned Rosslyn Chapel, the royal Renaissance palace at Linlithgow, and the ruins of grand castles and tower houses. Among the major country houses, Hopetoun and Dalkeith Palace stand out as splendid examples of architectural excellence, while Lothian also boasts the extraordinarily well-preserved Newhailes and mighty Gosford House.
In addition to its architectural treasures, Lothian is renowned for its picturesque small towns and resorts along the Firth of Forth. These areas feature outstanding villas designed for the Edwardian elite, as well as rural villages that retain their unspoiled character and showcase remnants of their agricultural heritage. The industrial legacy of Lothian is equally significant, with the region boasting one of the most complete collieries in Scotland and the world-famous Forth Rail Bridge, a testament to its engineering prowess.
This volume serves as an invaluable reference for both visitors and residents seeking to explore the architectural wonders of Lothian. It provides a comprehensive guide to the region's buildings, their historical context, and their architectural significance, making it an essential tool for anyone interested in Scotland's rich architectural heritage.
