Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Mediaeval Castle in Scotland' is a comprehensive exploration of the development and architectural significance of Scottish fortifications. Based on the Rhind Lectures in Archaeology for 1925-26, this work provides an in-depth analysis of the structural evolution of the castle from its early earthwork origins to the sophisticated stone fortresses of the late Middle Ages. W. Mackay Mackenzie examines the dual role of the castle as both a military stronghold and a residence for the nobility, contextualizing these structures within the broader social and political landscape of medieval Scotland.
