Reviews:

“..Pick up a volume of ..the Buildings of Scotland, and you will hear through the gazetting of architectural detail the old various voices of this country.” — Candia McWilliam, Architectural Heritage
“One will inevitably take both volumes along on any future visits
to these two marvellous regions.”
— Historic House, Autumn 2006
“The greatest endeavour of popular architectural scholarship in the world.” — Jonathan Meades, The Observer, 25th November 2001.
“The hardest thing to write is a great poem or great reference book. To last and to succeed the reference book should have something of the great poem to it. Pick up a volume of that great, and growing, catalogue raisonne of Scottish buildings, the Buildings of Scotland, and you will hear through the gazetting of architectural detail the old various voices of this country.” — Candia McWilliam, Architectural Heritage
