The Buildings of Scotland: Stirling and Central Scotland. John Gifford and Frank Arneil Walker with Richard Fawcett. Yale University Press. [pounds sterling]29.95. 852 pages. ISBN 0-300-09594-5. This is the first of the Pevsner Architectural Guides to be published by Yale since it took over the series in March.
The format followed is the same as in previous volumes. After an extensive introduction, which gives users the geographical, historical and architectural backgrounds, the book then begins its minute examination of the buildings of central Scotland, the area between Lowland Scotland (to the south) and the Highlands (to the north). Many of Scotland's most famous buildings (Stirling Castle and Castle Campbell), towns (Alloa), cities (Stirling), cathedrals (Dunblane) and churches (Holy Rood in Stirling) are featured along with the rest of the area's buildings, distinguished or not. This latest volume fully meets the series' high standards set by Sir Nicholas Pevsner and contributes one more title that will , like its predecessors, soon become indispensable.
