Synopsis
Excerpt from The Castellated and Domestic Architecture of Scotland, Vol. 4: From the Twelfth to the Eighteenth Century
When the third volume of this work was issued it was believed that one more volume would suffice to contain an account of all the remaining castellated and domestic strue tures of Scotland still unpublished. But the response given to the invitation for information and assistance to enable the authors to complete the account of these edifices has been so cordial, and has so much exceeded their expectation, that it has been found necessary to add another volume to the intended number of four. It is hoped, however, that this addition will not be unacceptable to those interested in the subject, as it has thereby been rendered possible to include many more subjects than could otherwise have been done, and thus, it is believed, to omit no building in the country within the selected sphere containing architectural features of any consequence.
