Victorian architect David Bryce (1803–1876) was the leading interpreter of the Scottish Baronial style. This first book on the architect focuses specifically on his extensive country-house practice: of the more than 200 buildings which Bryce built during his career, 164 were of this type and most of them were located in Scotland. Drawing on previously unpublished manuscripts by Bryce and a recently discovered collection of his drawings, the book begins with an examination of the architect’s early years as an early revivalist of Elizabethan and Jacobean architecture. The second section details his mature practice, revealing the roots and inspirations for his distinctive and influential Scots Baronial style, critically appraising his numerous high-quality houses, as well as buildings such as Fettes College and the Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh, and highlighting his concern for the landscape. The third section focuses on planning and interiors. Throughout the book, the author provides insights into the architect’s working practices and his use and development of pattern books.
