Description
Sir Robert Lorimer, who practiced in Edinburgh between 1893 and 1929, was an architect whose deep response to then landscape of Scotland and its crafts is expressed as vividly by his letters as by his buildings. He had become Scotland’s leading architect by 1911 when he received a knighthood for his designs for the Thistle Chapel in St. Giles’s cathedral, Edinburgh. this new and definitive study is the first book for more than forty years to deal with the work of Lorimer and the talented group of artists and craftsmen gathered around him.
