[Review] Abandoned Scotland by Alastair Horne

Gorgeous pictures of a majestic country. This book is dotted with information and historical blurbs. Concise facts with the primary focus on the pictorial story.

Old, abandoned architecture is a long-held fascination of mine. This book makes me want to reach out and touch the brick and mortar of these buildings—to feel their history whisper under the tips of my fingers. Of course the castles and cottages were my favorite, but there is so much to see in this book.

I'm filled with a sudden desire to go to Scotland!

Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released Sept 14, 2023.
