Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Baronial and Ecclesiastical Antiquities of Scotland, Vol. 1 The Baronial and Ecclesiastical Antiquities of Scotland, 1845 to 1852. With the publication of the latter work, which is undoubtedly his greatest achievement, and has secured for his name a permanent place amongst the great draughtsmen of last century, his labours as an author ceased, and thenceforth pro fessional demands upon his services monopolised his efforts. The fame which he had acquired through his numerous publications brought him many valuable com missions. At the instance of the Government he was employed in the restoration of the Chapel in Edinburgh Castle, while amongst other buildings of an important character that stand to his credit are the Douglas Room, Stirling Castle; Castle Wemyss, Renfrewshire and Gosford House, Haddingtonshire.
