Book excerpt: Nineteenth-century Britain witnessed intense debate regarding the treatment of old buildings.This produced a wealth of writing by the architects and activists of the day, spurred the foundation of factional societies, and finally resulted in legislation governing and protecting historic sites. The royal castles and palaces of Scotland made the transition from royal residence, private home, or ruin, to historic monument and tourist attraction during the century following the fiercest discussion, under the jurisdiction of this legislation. Of these, the largest and best preserved are those built in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries by Stewart monarchs: Falkland Palace, Linlithgow Palace, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh Castle, and Stirling Castle. These residences of Scottish monarchs past and present have been subject to a range of conservation approaches, and represent a cross-section of the various ways in which historic buildings present themselves to the public in Britain today. This research investigates the journey these buildings have undertaken, and their transition from ancient residence and military stronghold to modern-day monument and tourist attraction. The study will analyze the ways in which nineteenth-century debates and legislation influenced decisions about conserving these monuments. An analysis of the extensive restorations carried out at Stirling Castle will provide a case-study, adding depth and context to a more general discussion of the other four. Focusing on royal palaces and castles will facilitate examination of the various factors influencing decisions concerning conservation, restoration, and preservation. Because the topic of conservation at the Scottish royal residences has received little attention, the methodology will be heavily based on archival investigation combined with written histories and physical descriptions of the buildings themselves. The work will be informed by an understanding of conservation theory, itself a synthesis of the dual impulses of historicism and antiquarianism. More broadly, this research aims to highlight that, in spite of legislation, conservation of castles is highly variable, sometimes arbitrary, and often not governed purely by historical aims.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peeps at Royal Palaces of Great Britain Scarcely anything remains to-day to remind us of the vast size and the magnificence of the Palace of West minster, the royal residence of the English Kings from the time of Edward the Confessor until the reign of Henry VIII. For five centuries the monarchs of Eng land kept their Court on the island of Thorney, within the sound of the bells of the great minster raised by the piety of the saintly Edward. Though the early Kings were seldom long in one place, they regarded Westminster as their principal palace, and often kept their Christmas festivals there, a time of general feasting at the royal expense.
