The book encompasses many of the country's most important historic buildings - from the palaces left behind by the 'lost' monarchy, to revivalist castles and the proud town halls of the Victorian age - examining their architectural styles and tracing their wildly fluctuating political and national connotations. It ends by bringing the story into the 21st century, exploring how contemporary 'neo-modernist' architecture in today's Scotland, as exemplified in the Holyrood parliament, relates to concepts of national identity in architecture over the previous centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiles Glendinning \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Architectural Conservation at the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, University of Edinburgh, UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAonghus MacKechnie\u003c\/b\u003e is an architectural historian and Head of Heritage Management at Historic Scotland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTogether, they have co-authored numerous books including \u003ci\u003eA History of Scottish Architecture \u003c\/i\u003e(1996, co-authored with Ranald MacInnes), and \u003ci\u003eScottish Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e(\u003c\/i\u003e2004).\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.3 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 10, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47964313682168,"sku":"9781474283472","price":197.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/cDmp03SOyO9781474283472.webp?v=1783225356","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/scotch-baronial-architecture-and-national-identity-in-scotland-hardcover","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
