Book excerpt: Scotland's past is intricately bound up with her fine heritage of castles, and in this book Ian Grimble examines the architecture and history of twelve of the country's most splendid examples: Edinburgh, Stirling, Blair, Inveraray, Culzean, Glamis, Brodie, Craigievar, Fyvie, Thirlestane, Floors and Dunrobin.

These magnificent buildings are paid a fitting tribute in this authoritative and beautifully illustrated book, based on Ian Grimble's BBC television series.
