Abstract

of the family tradition with at least two phases of re-Adam-isation of the interior being undertaken in the early twentieth century. It is fascinating how much original work was lost before and after the Trust’s take-over in the name of ghastly good taste. This book is essential reading for a greater understanding of the inextricable link between landed estates and the families who owned them. The author’s in depth examination of this intriguing family adds immeasurably to our understanding of one of the great treasures of the National Trust for Scotland. The genius of Robert Adam is put into context and I hope that this will now prompt the  to sponsor further research into the detailed architectural history combined with an exhaustive measured surveyof the‘Magnificent Castle of Culzean’.
