Edinburgh. An illustrated Architectural Guide. McKean, Charles:
Gutes Ex. - Englisch. // HERE IS THE HISTORY and life of a great and beautiful European city. Edinburgh encapsulates the capital city of Scotland and its suburbs for your pocket. Through over 600 black-and-white and colour illustrations, it illustrates the history and character of the city through its architecture - who built it, why they built it, and what renders it so fascinating. There are guides to understanding the Old and the New Towns, poems, quotations, and vignettes. Sir Walter Scott, Lord Cockburn, Sir Patrick Geddes and Robert Louis Stevenson stride across these pages as much as the great architects of Edinburghs history - Robert Adam, William Playfair, Thomas Hamilton and Basil Spence. The first edition of this guide was described as the best architectural guide to any city in the United Kingdom.
