Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Deeside: A Guide to the City of Aberdeen and the Villages, Hamlets, Districts, Castles, Mansions and Scenery of Deeside, With Notes of Antiquities, Historical and Literary Associations, Etc But, while this may be admitted, some may question whether another Guide Book is needed. Without directly contradicting this View, I may say that one who has lived a long time in a district can hardly fail to know some things - and these not always useless or uninteresting-in a manner in which they can scarcely be known to those who are only occasional visitors. I may also explain that I had become pretty familiar with most of the localities of the country, and had acquired an appreciable amount of historical and miscellaneous information about them, without ever intending to submit a book on Deeside to the public. The idea of doing so afterwards sprung up in my mind, and I must abide the result of the wisdom or folly of the venture. Whatever may be the fate of the book, it has been a pleasure to me to revisit the old familiar scenes and to look up those with which I was previously not so well acquainted. There are few places comprised in the work that I have not visited and inspected for myself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Queen s Houses written by Alan Titchmarsh and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Queen's life was dedicated to her public - every move was scrutinised, every word noted. But her homes were havens where peace could be found, away from watchful eyes; sanctuaries of private calm in a whirlwind life of public duty. In The Queen's Houses, Alan Titchmarsh takes us on a tour of the royal residences, examining the personal family stories behind these magnificent buildings. Through personal reflections, interviews with royal staff and meticulous historical research, Alan looks beyond the formal grandeur of Buckingham Palace, the imposing structure of Windsor Castle and the private escape offered by Balmoral and others. Illustrated with intimate family photographs and evocative memorabilia, The Queen's Houses offers a glimpse of life lived behind the state banquets and sovereign duties - a respectful study of the royal family at home.
