Inventory of the Ancient Monuments: Argyll Vol 2

This publication brings together a selection of photographs and drawings depicting the rich built heritage of Dundee. The illustrations, many of which appeared in an exhibition organized to celebrate Dundee's 1991 octocentenary celebrations, have been drawn mainly from the collections of the National Monuments Record of Scotland, an extensive national archive of Scotland's historic buildings and archaeological monuments administered by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. Dundee has long been renowned as the home of the jute industry in Britain, an association which has endowed the city with much impressive industrial architecture, best symbolized by the remains of Camperdown works, with its lofty brick chimney, and by the "jute palace" homes of the magnates of the industry. The city has had a long and occasionally turbulent history, however, which is reflected in a wide and distinctive variety of buildings, ranging from castles and churches to tenements and office blocks, and its riverside setting has bequeathed a legacy of maritime industries and large bridges.

This volume looks at the archaeological heritage of Orkney, and examines the defences of the last World War back through windmills and water-mills, houses and castles, Viking-age churches and iron-age brochs, to the well-preserved houses and tombs of people who lived more than 5000 years ago.
