Synopsis
The Scottish Borders, one of the most architecturally enticing regions of Scotland, encompass rocky coastlines, rolling moors, and farmland. The early buildings reflect a history of conflict, as do the ruins of the numerous great Borders abbeys. The River Tweed provides a delightful setting for the burghs of Peebles, Galashiels, Melrose, and Kelso, where small weavers’ cottages and colossal nineteenth-century mills remain from the once-mighty textile industry.
The region boasts country houses of exceptional quality and importance, including Thirlestane Castle, Traquair, and Paxton as well as Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott, which is world-renowned as the fount of nineteenth-century Romanticism. Other highlights of this comprehensive guide are little-known shooting and fishing lodges, rural steadings, arts and crafts villas, Art Deco schools, and the extraordinary Sunderland House, a building of Miesian purity by Peter Womersley.

Borders ? The Buildings of Scotland Series (Pevsner Architectural Guides: Buildings of Scotland)
Seller: Trumpington Fine Books Limited, Gilmilnscroft, Ayrshire, Scotland, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 841pp. (black spine) 8vo. sized. 2006. First impression. A good plus, tight copy in very good jacket. Original publisher's blue leatherette - gilt embossed to the spine. A colour plate section in the middle and plans / maps elsewhere. Not a perfect copy because the rear upper corner of the text block has at some point been exposed to moisture with a tide-mark showing to the fore-edge and to the upper corner of the rear endpaper. There is also very slight waviness to the pages. That said every page is completely legible and readable and so this book is a perfect reference copy. The jacket has not been price-clipped; it has a stain to the upper rear joint corner, which only shows on the verso. A good plus, tight copy in very good jacket. Seller Inventory # 024949
