London: Save Britain's Heritage, 1980. Softcover. Good+ (Clean and tight interior but with rubbing to covers, price sticker on front cover, and spine area turned up). Oblong cream wraps with sepia photograph. Unpaginated with over 125 pp. BW photos. Scotland lost more than 450 houses of "architectural pretension" between 1900 and 1980, when the demise of the country became a tragedy for history and architecture. This study is an attempt to document the losses of Scottish Country Houses by showing how much has been lost, especially since WWII, with the aim of underlining the importance of the efforts being made to preserve, maintain and use those that remain.
