The National Trust for Scotland owns many historic buildings across Aberdeenshire, Angus, Perthshire and the Cairngorms. In this illustrated personal tour of more than 20 of them, Ian Mitchell Davidson reflects on his 30-year career at the Trust, offers a glimpse behind the scenes of castles, churches and crofts, and pays tribute to the conservators, craftspeople, archaeologists, gardeners and guides who maintain them for the public.
The castles and other properties owned and managed by the National Trust for Scotland are precious jewels in the crown of the nation's heritage. Ensuring they provide a wonderful experience for visitors requires expertise and enthusiasm from many people, mostly unseen, who offer specialist knowledge and long-term thinking. A Heritage in Stone by Ian Mitchell Davidson pays tribute to the craftspeople, gardeners, foresters, managers, guides, surveyors, architects, archaeologists, conservators, planners and more, who have made the Trust's properties so very special to so many people. It celebrates their many and various contributions as part of a long and continuing tradition in this beautiful large-format, highly illustrated volume.
