The Master Masons To The Crown Of Scotland And Their Works is a book written by Robert Scott Mylne, which provides a comprehensive overview of the master masons who were responsible for building some of the most iconic structures in Scotland during the 16th and 17th centuries. The book highlights the lives and works of these master masons, including their training, techniques, and the materials they used to build castles, palaces, and other grand structures. Mylne's book is divided into two parts, the first of which provides a historical background on Scottish architecture, while the second part delves into the biographies of the master masons themselves. The book is richly illustrated with photographs, drawings, and plans, which help to bring the buildings and the master masons who built them to life. Some of the structures featured in the book include Edinburgh Castle, St. Giles Cathedral, and Holyrood Palace, among many others. Mylne's writing is engaging and informative, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in Scottish architecture, history, or the art of masonry. Overall, The Master Masons To The Crown Of Scotland And Their Works is a fascinating and informative read that sheds light on the master masons who played such an important role in shaping Scotland's architectural heritage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
