The baronial and ecclesiastical antiquities of Scotland

Billings, R. W. (Robert William), 1813-1874, Wiston-Glyn, A. W · 1909 · Edinburg ; T.N. Foulis · 94 pictures

An architectural survey of Scottish castles, abbeys and parish churches drawn by Robert William Billings, reissued in 1909 by T.N. Foulis of Edinburgh with text by A.W. Wiston-Glyn for antiquarians and architects. The plates are fine-line engravings of exteriors and interiors, with recessed Romanesque doorways, tracery windows, ruined nave arcades and stair turrets set against plain skies and small figures for scale — useful for masonry texture, arch profiles and silhouettes of towers.
