Synopsis
Scotland's traditionally built environment is one of its most unique and cherished features. It is something which both draws visitors from around the world and gives Scotland's inhabitants a sense of place and identity. This volume celebrates for the first time the raw materials which have been employed in forming Scotland's traditional buildings. In total 14 different materials are examined, including stone, timber, iron, clay and slate, with each being discussed by an expert in the material, reflecting regional variations, the socio-economic stories behind the materials, and how they have shaped Scotland's traditionally built environment. Each chapter covers aspects of the material such as how it has been utilised over time, geographical variations throughout the country, the properties of the material and examples of its use. All the photography for the book has been commissioned from one of Scotland's leading young photographers to make it as visually impressive as it is informative.
The target audience for this publication is those interested in the built environment, but also a much broader base who have tacit interest and might be engaged by the style and presentation of the book.
