Lovedale, South Africa: Illustrated by Fifty Views From Photographs. E-book. Formato PDF James Stewart   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

Hese reproductions from photographs are intended to give the friends and supporters of the Mission, as well as others, some representation of Lovedale and its surroundings. The letterpress which accompanies each View, as well as this Introduction, will afford some information about the place, its gradual progress, and the different kinds of work carried on. Numerous as the views are, they are only a portion of what might have been given. There are in all twenty-five separate buildings. The site which the missionaries received was at first a bare hill-side and a ?at valley covered with mimosa trees. The change has been effected by the aid of the friends of missions, who have supported the labours of the missionaries.

Blair Castle: An Illustrated Survey of the Historic Scottish Home of the Dukes of Atholl. E-book. Formato PDF James Stewart Murray   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

In the more peaceful times that followed, the zud Duke remodelled the castle in the style of a Georgian house. It is difficult to visualise the castle as it would be at the time when Edward III stayed there in 1336. Two hundred years later, when Mary, Queen of Scots was entertained to a hunt at which 360 red deer and 5 wolves were killed, considerable changes had taken place and the building had been extended southward from Cumming's tower. The great hall range connecting the two towers was built by the 3rd Earl. This block is less obvious from the north front than the west (plate 1) where it is revealed by the three rows of sash windows. These windows are a legacy of the remodelling carried out by the zud Duke after the '45, when the castellations and corner turrets gave way to low-pitched roofs and chimney stacks. The south end, which was in a ruinous condition, was rebuilt and Cumming's tower was lowered.
