{"product_id":"9781350166165","title":"Scotch Baronial : Architecture and National Identity in Scotland by Aonghus MacKechnie","description":"This book takes a timely look at how Scotland's national politics have been expressed in its buildings, exploring the role the architecture of Scotland - in particular its world-famous `castle architecture' - has played the ongoing narrative of Scots national identity.   Scotch Baronial examines many of the country's most important historic buildings - from the palaces left behind by the `lost' monarchy, to revivalist castles and proud town halls - examining their architectural styles and tracing their wildly fluctuating political and national connotations.  An introduction to a key episode in British architectural history, and a valuable resource for anyone studying the role of architecture in narratives of nationalism and empire globally, Scotch Baronial ends by bringing the story into the 21st century, exploring how contemporary `neo-modernist' architecture in today's Scotland, as exemplified in the Holyrood parliament, relates to concepts of national identity in architecture over the previous centuries.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312213668213,"sku":"9781350166165","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781350166165.jpg?v=1762821037","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781350166165","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
