Glamis Castle | |||
| Art | ||||
| Harry Gordon Slade | ||||
| Society of Antiquaries 2000 128 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 0854312773 260x200mm | ||||
| Published Price £29.95 | Our Price £7.99 | |||
| Glamis Castle, seat of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne since the 1370s, was the childhood home of the late Queen Mother and has as many royal associations as it has architectural splendours. In this richly detailed account, Slade weaves the strands of family history into the castle's architectural development as he traces its various incarnations: from medieval castle to a royal palace in 1537; from a great house in Scottish Baronial style in 1600 to Baroque mansion in 1695; and finally an enormous late Victorian country house of 'little comfort and less convenience.' | ||||
