Mousa to Mackintosh: The Scottishness of Scottish Architecture

PART OF THE Let the Sun Shine ISSUE

‘What matters here are the formal qualities of architecture, the forms and formal relationships, that seem to identify a distinct characteristic of Scottishness.’

Can we define the ‘Scottishness’ of Scotland’s architecture? Frank Arneil Walker sets out to answer this question in this ambitious and stunning book that tells the history of Scotland in a unique way. Here, BooksfromScotland shares some of the photography found in the book, a glimpse of the treasures inside.
