Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stirling Castle: Its Place in Scottish History Stirling castle is a many-sided subject that can be treated in more than one way. The story of the castle might be dealt with in a book divided into sections, each one taking up a special part, such as Military History, Stirling as a Royal Palace, Notable Visitors, etc. But I have thought it better to set forth the Whole of the castle's history in chronological order, and, after discussing the buildings and their associations, to bring together the salient events connected with the three chief Scottish strongholds, and to record What the poets have said about Stirling. With regard to dates, for the sake of simplicity I have adopted the historical computation; that is to say, the years have been reckoned as if they had always begun on the Ist of January and not on the 25th of March, as was the rule in Scotland until 1600. For example, the date of Prince Henry's birth is given as February, 1594. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: This illustrated book contains the history of Stirling Castle in Scotland, a place famous for its beautiful design, for accommodating various royals and for its decisive role in Medieval wars. The author tackles the various facets of Stirling Castle's history, beginning with how the site of the building was selected for its geography. The rugged, hilly landscapes were considered ideal for defensive structures - the County of Stirling was the site of several decisive battles between the Scots and the English. The strenuous efforts of King Edward I, who sought to subdue Scotland just as he had subdued Wales, resulted in Stirling Castle becoming an emblem of Scottish strength and resistance. Significantly, the great fort was chosen as the birthplace for royal children, with James VI being the last monarch of Scotland to choose Stirling Castle for this purpose. Following the 17th century, and with gunpowder rendering its defenses obsolete, the castle's military purpose ceased and it became instead a monument to Scotland's history and culture. The concluding chapters of this book note the presence of Stirling in poetry, and the fact it accommodated many distinguished guests. The architecture and design of the fort is detailed along with drawings, allowing the reader the greatest comprehension.

Book excerpt: The volcanic crag that dominates Stirling was probably fortified from ancient times, but the importance of Stirling Castle as a royal residence peaked in the 16th century. Around 1500, James IV added new buildings including the vast Great Hall. The elegant Chapel Royal was built by James VI in 1594. But the heart of Stirling Castle is the spectacular Palace, commissioned by James V in the 1530s. Its exuberant design drew on the fashions of the European Renaissance to express James's power and sophistication. Following a major programme of research, Historic Scotland has re-presented the Palace interiors as they might have looked when James V's grand scheme was completed.This book also includes a guide to Argyll's Lodging and Mar's Wark, grand residences occupied by major nobles near castle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stirling Castle is one of Scotland's most famous historical sites and one that featured prominently in Scottish history. Associated particularly with the Stewart kings, its chequered history is inter-woven with details on the architectural changes made to the buildings through time. The withdrawl of the army from the castle in 1964 paved the way for a major campaign of conservation and restoration which forms the focus of this publication. A series of experts involved in this campaign report on the work carried out and reveal hidden details on this important building. Richard Fawcett looks at the architecture overall, Michael Lynch at the Great Hall in the reigns of Mary and James VI, Doreen Grove studies the militarisation of the castle, Iain MacIvor the decision to restore the Hall, and Ingval Maxwell, Peter Buchanan, Gordon Ewart and Duncan Peet deal with the different stages and procedures involved in the restoration, surveying and recording of the castle buildings.

This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 1287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world’s bestselling travel book is back in a more informative, more experiential, more budget-friendly full-color edition. A #1 New York Times bestseller, 1,000 Places reinvented the idea of travel book as both wish list and practical guide. As Newsweek wrote, it “tells you what’s beautiful, what’s fun, and what’s just unforgettable— everywhere on earth.” And now the best is better. There are 600 full-color photographs. Over 200 entirely new entries, including visits to 28 countries like Lebanon, Croatia, Estonia, and Nicaragua, that were not in the original edition. There is an emphasis on experiences: an entry covers not just Positano or Ravello, but the full 30-mile stretch along the Amalfi Coast. Every entry from the original edition has been readdressed, rewritten, and made fuller, with more suggestions for places to stay, restaurants to visit, festivals to check out. And throughout, the book is more budget-conscious, starred restaurants and historic hotels such as the Ritz,but also moderately priced gems that don’t compromise on atmosphere or charm. The world is calling. Time to answer.
