Scottish castles: a complete history of iconic historic buildings and their role in Scotland's story

Love Scotland: Stories of Scotland's History and Nature

The National Trust for Scotland cares for a dozen Scottish castles, all of which have unique histories and origins.

In this week’s episode, Jackie sits down with author Janet Brennan-Inglis, who also chairs the Trust’s Galloway group, to discuss some of these buildings and their influence on Scotland’s story.

Janet also guides Jackie through the tale of MacGibbon and Ross, two architects who, in the 1880s, completed a comprehensive study of Scotland’s built heritage.
