The DHS has recently received an email describing a new website about Scotland’s architecture, it reads as follows
“Your programme of talks and visits prompted me to introduce Scotland’s Architecture, a free, independent, developing resource about Scotland’s buildings and places. I thought its Dunfermline material might offer useful background for members exploring the city’s architectural history.
The Dunfermline page brings together a map, local context and two source-linked accounts: Dunfermline Abbey and Palace, including the surviving Romanesque nave, and Carnegie Library & Galleries, tracing the historic library’s growth through to Richard Murphy Architects’ 2017 addition. The library account also looks at the changing levels and framed views towards the Abbey.
Coverage is selective and still developing, rather than a complete inventory.”
Scotland’s Architecture is an independent public-history guide to the buildings, structures, landscapes and designed places that shape Scotland.
It explains buildings and places through local history, geography, maps, archives, newspapers, historic books and accounts of people’s homes, work and community life. Celebrated monuments appear alongside libraries, mills, bridges, churches, houses, streets, public buildings and other places that help explain how Scotland has changed.
