HISTORY AND GUIDE TO SCOTTISH CASTLES (HB)

There are around 3,000 castles still standing in Scotland - an astonishing number for a relatively small country. Some are world famous in their own right, while others have inspired great works of literature or lit up the silver screen. Each tower tells a story, every turret holds a secret, and taken together they span centuries of fascinating Scottish history. This book explores the history, architecture, and legends of some of these fascinating fortresses and looks at why they are so appealing to visitors today.
