Dugald Butler’s survey of Scottish cathedrals and abbeys explores the remarkable legacy of medieval religious architecture in Scotland — buildings that, unlike their English counterparts, were frequently ruined during the Scottish Reformation and the later religious conflicts of the seventeenth century. Butler covers the great abbeys of Kelso, Melrose, Jedburgh, and Dryburgh, as well as the cathedrals of St Andrews, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.
Historical context accompanies each architectural description, making this a useful guide to both the buildings and the ecclesiastical history they embody. Download the free EPUB for an engaging survey of Scotland’s medieval monastic and cathedral heritage.
