Dundee and Angus by John Gifford

This volume in the Buildings of Scotland series explores the rich architectural diversity of Dundee and Angus. Dundee, the fourth-largest city in Scotland, boasts some of the country's finest ecclesiastical, public, industrial, and commercial buildings, including the unique Maggie's Centre designed by Frank Gehry. Beyond Dundee lies the predominantly rural county of Angus, where visitors can see stunning Pictish and early Christian monuments, castles, country houses, and the famed Bell Rock Lighthouse, the world's oldest surviving sea-washed lighthouse.

“The scope of the book, its useful format, and the quality of its reproductions makes Dudee and Angus a learned and sturdy companion for all those interested in the region, which it is a pleasure to see brought to the public’s attention”—Lizzie Swarbrick, Burlington Magazine,
