Excerpt from The History of the Monastery of the Holy-Rood, and of the Palace of Holyrood House
H.m. Principal Architect for Scotland, who has a unique knowledge of the buildings of Holyrood; and to William Cowan, for placing at my service his wide and exact knowledge of the antiquities of the City of Edin burgh. I am also indebted to my lifelong friend, W. D. M'kay, LL.D., Secretary to the Royal Scottish Academy, for his drawings of Holyrood House as it now stands.
I leave the book in the hands of those who are, as I am, lovers of mine own romantic town.
