Sometimes referred to as Scotland s Gatekeeper , lying as it does just east of the capital along the Firth of Forth, East Lothian has had an often turbulent history. With stunning photographs taken in the late 19th and early 20th centuries before what the author terms the decline of the great houses , this book traces the history of building in the area from the defensible towers of the 14th and 15th century to the great houses built in more settled times by both the gentry and the rich traders of the 18th and 19th century. Among the numerous architectural gems are: Alderston House (showing both interior and exterior views); Bolton Muir near East Gifford; Bothwell Castle, Haddington; Biel House, Stenton; Lauderdale house, Dunbar and Lennoxlove House, Haddington whose L-shaped tower was damaged during the Rough Wooing attacks of the English in 1549.

A compact county of 354 square miles Peeblesshire has its fair share of castles and country houses. The former were necessarily defensive and the latter showy and fancy. Some, like Traquair, spanned the transition and are a bit of both. In this small volume there are 61 photos of various properties, mainly from the Edwardian period, the heyday of the country seat.

So many gardening books tell you what to plant and where and when. But how often do they tell you to just sit and enjoy them? And when you do, you can find yourself thinking of things in a different way.With an exceptional academic career in natural history and medicine, writer Joanna Geyer-Kordesch found 'reflection, consolation and healing' in the soothing, healing powers of gardens after suffering from a major stroke. Sharing profound reflections on how gardening has helped her regenerate, Why Gardens Matter is as enlightening as it is inspirational. With contributions from Donald Smith, this is a powerful plea for us to reflect on our gardens and to acknowledge the life-affirming values of our green spaces.

The castles in the Scottish Borders date from those violent times when the Borders were subject to the 'rough wooing' of the English and the Border Reivers. When peace became the norm, the pele towers fell into ruin and their families built mansions, as did those of the nouveau riche mill owners of the Tweed Valley. Some of these Selkirkshire houses are seen here at their Edwardian zenith. Later some of these owners fell on hard times as economic decline and the two wars took their toll and many country houses were lost. In this book there is a selection of the county's posh real estate together with the history of the properties and their owners.
