The region boasts country houses of exceptional quality and importance, including Thirlestane Castle, Traquair, and Paxton as well as Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott, which is world-renowned as the fount of nineteenth-century Romanticism. Other highlights of this comprehensive guide are little-known shooting and fishing lodges, rural steadings, arts and crafts villas, Art Deco schools, and the extraordinary Sunderland House, a building of Miesian purity by Peter Womersley.

'The authors are to be congratulated on a phenomenal achievement in recording an extraordinary range of buildings... [The architectural detail is] scholarly and authoritative...' - Hugh Massingberd, The Spectator
'...a serendipidist's dream...always illuminating...'
- Alan Taylor, Sunday Herald
'The Buildings of Scotland: Borders [is] packed with all the information you could possibly require...' - Homes and Interiors Scotland 'Just occasionally a book emerges which we can all see will be a classic. Such is Borders... The 840 pages of dense fact and detail are a delight. Yet it is more of a reference book than a narrative. If you are exploring the Borders, you need to carry this compelling text in your car... The most loyal of Borderers with the bravest of wellie boots can only hope to know a fraction of the terrain in enough detail. ... I cannot imagine this admirable volume will ever be superceded.'
- Peter Clarke, Berwickshire News
'The pre-1700 material is treated in exemplary fashion. ... The descriptions...aremodels of precision and deft analysis...impressive...' - Neil Cameron, Architects Journal
