Castles of Aberdeenshire: Historical and Descriptive Notices (1887)

When first published, this 1887 volume was largely a reprint of "Castellated Architecture of Aberdeenshire" (1849), focussing on the 45 Castles featured as the centres of influence and action in a district rich in historic associations. Robert Bruce, Queen Mary, the Covenanters, the rising of 1715, and the Stuarts all feature in the accounts.
