"The Ecclesiastical Architecture of Scotland from the Earliest Christian Times to the Seventeenth Century" by David MacGibbon and Thomas Ross is a scholarly historical account written in the late 19th century. This work examines the development and characteristics of ecclesiastical architecture in Scotland, emphasizing its evolution from early Christian times through to the late medieval period. The book meticulously looks at various architectural styles, significant buildings, and their historical context. The opening of the work sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of Scottish ecclesiastical architecture, focusing on the transition from the Middle Pointed to the Late Pointed periods. It details how architectural elements reflected both local traditions and external influences, particularly from England and France. The authors discuss the lack of a distinct break in styles between these two periods, highlighting notable examples and features that define the Late Pointed style, such as pointed barrel vaults and unique construction techniques that set Scottish architecture apart from its European counterparts.
