Transcription

These two volumes contain descriptions of
all the ancient monuments and historical
buildings in Peeblesshire from earliest
times to 1707, and of representative
examples of later buildings down to the
middle of the nineteenth century. A large
number of the prehistoric forts,
settlements and burial places, in which
the county is particularly rich, have been
discovered in the course of the survey, as
has the Roman fort at Easter Happrew. In
the architectural field detailed accounts
are provided of the two outstanding
buildings, Neidpath Castle and Traquair
House, while many of the other structures
- castles and tower-houses, churches,
country houses, roads and bridges, and
early industrial buildings - are adequately
described for the first time. The
relationship of the monuments to one
another and to the geographical,
historical and linguistic background is
discussed in an introduction, and the
whole is illustrated with a wealth of line
drawings, photographs and maps.
