Excerpt from The Castellated and Domestic Architecture of Scotland, Vol. 1: From the Twelfth to the Eighteenth Century
The architectural history of Scotland does not date from a very remote period. The Roman occupation of the country was partial and of short duration, and left behind few or no buildings which might serve as models for the native inhabitants. Nor had the inhabitants been long enough under Roman rule to have acquired the art of imitating Roman skill and workmanship.
