Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"Featuring breathtaking photographs of some of
Scotland
's most remarkable and little-known houses, this book tells the story of how incomers adopted the North of
Scotland
as a recreational paradise and left an astonishing legacy of architecture and
decoration
inspired by the romanticized image of the
Highlands
. Known as shooting lodges because they were designed principally to accommodate the parties of guests that flocked north for the annual sporting season, these houses range from Picturesque cottages ornés and Scotch Baronial castles to Arts and Crafts mansions and modern eco-lodges. While their designs respond to some of Britain's wildest and most stirring landscapes, inside many were equipped with the latest domestic technology and boasted opulent
decoration
and furnishings from the smartest London and Parisian firms. A good number survive little altered in their original state, and some are still owned by descendants of the families that built them."--From publisher.
