They remind me of one of my favorites: Great Houses of Scotland by Hugh Montgomery-Massingbe. While not quite as enclyclopedic, it only includes 26 homes, it's a great Sunday afternoon on the couch book.Athenaeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07869191202008904097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-66112816838092490322009-02-03T09:10:00.000-05:002009-02-03T09:10:00.000-05:00I have that Best Houses Book.
