Abstract

This article discusses the architectural contents of the library at Blair Adam and the books which William Adam will have used in the evolution of his own designs. The range of over 140 titles from Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Britain illustrates clearly both the seriousness of Adam's purpose and the modernity of his ideas. Far from being a mere provincial collection the library was the creation of a cosmopolitan connoisseur.
