Miles Glendinning and Aonghus MacKechnie, Scotch Baronial: Architecture and National Identity in Scotland

Abstract

In I Scotch Baronial i , Miles Glendinning and Aonghus MacKechnie explain why Scotland experienced Europe's first and longest sustained age of castle revivalism. Further, was an elite conception of "unionist Scotland", the same thing as "British unionist-nationalism"? It is then argued that 'castles, rather like tartan, would soon become the paramount symbols of the landed elites of unionist Scotland, underpinned by the ancient high status of Scotland's nobility and lairds'.
