Critic Reviews
"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
