Scottish Cathedrals and Abbeys
Scottish Cathedrals and Abbeys is a compact guide by Dugald Butler, a minister of the Church of Scotland at Abernethy, written for the Guild Library series with an introduction by Principal Story of Glasgow. It begins with the relation between the old Celtic church and the Roman church that followed it, then sketches the phases of Scottish medieval architecture, from Norman work through the pointed styles. The main part goes diocese by diocese, from St. Andrews, Glasgow and Dunkeld to Aberdeen, Moray and beyond, describing the cathedrals and the great abbeys, their founders and their fate after the Reformation. It suits readers interested in church history and the ruins that still mark the Scottish landscape. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
