Drumlanrig: The Castle, its People and its Paintings, Paperback / softback Book

Drumlanrig: The Castle, its People and its Paintings Paperback / softback

Edited by John Montagu Douglas Scott

Part of the The Buccleuch Houses series

Paperback / softback

Description

With its pale pink sandstone, picturesque domes and dramatic setting, Drumlanrig is one of Scotland's most romantic castles, its history entwined with that of the country itself.

The twists and turns of its story are here captured atmospherically in words and pictures. It took a decade for a medieval stronghold to emerge in 1689 as the palace that greets visitors today.

The legacies of three ducal families have combined to create a collection of imposing portraits and rare French furniture.

Stately interiors lead to delightful, intimate spaces and an unforgettable Rembrandt.

Still home to the heirs of William, 1st Duke of Queensbury, the castle continues to evolve and impress to this day.
