I am overwhelmed by the outstanding range of your scholarship, plus your unremitting polemic...In any event, the book is an exceptional achievement by any standards… perhaps it is more than one single study, but rather a compressed work of a lifetime!KENNETH FRAMPTON, architect on Land of Stone
This densely researched and lucidly written book is an important contribution to the history of Scottish culture in general and architecture in particular. BILL HARE on Land of Stone
