Excerpt from Ecclesiastical Architecture of Scotland, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Christian Times to the Seventeenth Century
Of the former period abundant illustrations exist in the almost pre historic examples of Celtic structures of early Christian recluses, together with specimens of round towers and innumerable sculptured memorials and crosses, somewhat similar to those found in Ireland. These indicate the intimate connection which formerly existed with that country, whence Scotland derived her name, as well as her early instruction in religion.

Excerpt from Ecclesiastical Architecture of Scotland, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Christian Times to the Seventeenth Century
While engaged upon their work on The Castellated and Domestic Architecture of Scotland, the authors were frequently brought in contact with the various ecclesiastical structures throughout the country, and they naturally availed themselves of such opportunities to make notes and sketches of these interesting edifices.
These notes and sketches, together with others made during a long series of years, formed a considerable fund of information and a collection of drawings, the possession of which has induced the authors to undertake the completion of the illustration and description of the Ancient Architecture of Scotland, by adding an account of the Ecclesiastical to that of the Castellated and Domestic Architecture of the country already given to the public.
The size of the former book has been found to be somewhat restricted for many of the illustrations of the churches, but it has been thought best, for the sake of uniformity, to adhere to the same size and style as in the former work.
The subject of the Castles and Mansions, having been previously little investigated, afforded a fresh field for enquiry.
