Shops are an integral part of our everyday life. Over the last 200 years, Scotland's shop owners - from Stranraer to Lerwick - have been renewing, changing and replacing their shop-fronts in an attempt to keep up with the latest fashions in retail architecture. Scotland's Shops embarks on an in-depth investigation of shop development in Scotland. It offers examples of good practice in conservation and makes a strong case for the conservation of shops of all periods, given their significant contribution to the character of our townscapes. There is much to be celebrated in our retail architecture and this book highlights the tremendous variety of architecture and materials which can be found in towns across Scotland.
