Book excerpt: Based on a 20-year survey organised by the Botanical Society of Scotland, this is the most extensive and authoritative Flora of Edinburgh and the Lothians to be published since 1927. In addition to a complete Flora of vascular plants in the three Lothian vice-counties, the book includes: *Specialist chapters on topics ranging from fungi to ferns and from geology and climate to ethnobotany.*A substantial Bryophyte Flora of Edinburgh and the Lothians.*A discussion of land-use changes and the ecological and phytogeographical indications from the survey.*A description of the survey and details of the methods used in the compilation of the Flora.*30 colour and black and white plates, nearly 400 distribution maps and other illustrations.The Lothians are rich in diversity, from the moist uplands of the south to the dry, flat lands of the north-east. Habitats range from seacoast to moorland, from river and loch to woodland and meadow. In addition to this variety, there is the impact of man as manifested by agriculture, urbanisation, industry, and now climate change. Plant Life of Edinburgh and the Lothians presents an up-to-date account of this richness and will provide an essential basis for comparison with the flora and vegetation of the future

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first fully revised and expanded guide to the buildings of Lothian since Colin McWilliam's pioneering volume of 1978, with new colour photography, maps and plans to accompany the unrivalled coverage of the area. Lothian surrounds the capital city of Edinburgh, which has done much to influence the character of its buildings. Among these are some important medieval relics, including the internationally-famous Rosslyn Chapel, the royal Renaissance palace at Linlithgow and the ruins of great castles and tower houses. Among major country houses, none are more splendid than Hopetoun and the ducal seat of Dalkeith Palace but Lothian also has the extraordinarily well-preserved Newhailes and mighty Gosford House. This is also an area of picturesque small towns and resorts along the Firth of Forth with outstanding villas for the Edwardian elite, and rural villages of unspoiled character, preserving remains of their agricultural heritage. The industrial legacy is important, including not only one of the most complete collieries in Scotland but also the world-famous Forth Rail Bridge. This volume is an essential reference for visitors and residents alike.
