For centuries, Scotland’s castles protected her people from invasion—but eventually most lay in ruins. In the 1820’s, artist William Daniell drew the remains of these once-grand structures. For the first time, these illustrations appear in a fascinating collection alongside more recent photos of ruins and restorations, and accompanied by fascinating tales of these fortresses. The stories paint a uniquely human portrait of the castle, which was central to the lives of all Scots whatever their social station, in peacetime and war.
