| Sir Robert Lorimer, who practised in Edinburgh between 1893 and 1929, was an architect whose deep response to Scotland's landscape and its crafts is expressed as vividly by his letters as by his buildings. He was Scotland's leading architect by 1911 when he received a knighthood for his designs for the Thistle Chapel in St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh. On original publication, this was the first book for over forty years to deal with the work of Lorimer and the talented group of artists and craftspeople gathered around him. | |||
