“Superbly catalogued in the newly revised Lothian edition. . . . This guide highlights some stunning ecclesiastical architecture across the Lothians.”—Simon Heffer, The Telegraph“Sixty-five years and numerous authors later, the ‘Buildings of Scotland’ series has now been completed with this magisterial, 2-inch-thick 15th volume. . . . Extensive resurvey and research, and now with illustrations, plans and colour photography.”—Mary Miers, Country Life“Splendid illustrations. . . . McWilliam’s prose and scholarship have been respected, and this very handsome volume is a more than welcome addition.”—James Stevens Curl, The Critic“[A] joyous tome. . . . An unexpectedly indispensable guide.”—Richard Bath, Scottish Field“Beautifully edited, illustrated and produced, these magisterial books comprise one of the great publishing feats of the age. With so many authors, all with divergent expertise and styles, such consistency, precision and understated flair is down to Yale’s editor Charles O’Brien.”—Colin Donald, The Herald
