Hugh Cantlie highlights the most colorful events associated with each castle, linking its owners with such legendary figures as Robert the Bruce, Mary Queen of Scots, and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Throughout, dramatic color photos reveal the architectural formation of the castles, showing how these remarkable structures have gradually evolved to meet the changing needs and means of their inhabitants. Hugh Cantlie is an authority on the preservation of historic buildings.
