Excerpt from The Castles and Keeps of Scotland: Being a Description of Sundry Fortresses, Lowers, Peels, and Other Houses of Strength Built by the Princes and Barons of Old Time in the Highlands, Islands, Inlands, and Borders of the Ancient and Godfearing Kingdom of Scotland

IN these pages I have tried to bring to gether some of the history and romance which attaches to the more important castles of Scot land, and to tell enough of their architectural peculiarities to enable the visitor to understand what he is Viewing. In none of these respects is it to be hoped, at this late day, that new facts of importance could be brought forth. My task has been rather to furnish a couve nient collection of facts hitherto to be found only by much reading of books often not easily accessible, adding thereto my own opinions and experiences where they seemed novel or inter esting.
