Castles & Ancient Monuments of Scotland by Damien Noonan

This book contains over 300 original color photographs and maps and has been carefully deisgned for easy access and convenient use.
This exciting and lavishly illustrated new guide not only describes in detail every castle in Scotland, from the grandeur of Stirling Castle to medieval tower houses and the primitive brochs of the Highlands, it also covers a whole host of other sites of historic interest. These range from neolithic stone circles and barrows to ruined chapels and abbeys, from the sites of Norse villages and iron-age settlements to eighteenth-century fortresses. Organized by region, which makes it ideal for use by visitors whether they are based in one place or touring, the guide includes maps of the regions, and detailed directions for finding each site. Each listing provides a history of the site, highlighting features of particular interest, and full details are given about access, facilities, opening times and admission prices. In addition, there are double-page features on major sites, such as the Antonine Wall, and specific features such as brochs or Pictish stone carvings.

German Castles and Palaces by Klaus Merten

German Castles and Palaces is a great book with good photos and very informative. The photography is just fabulous, especially the many interior photos of the palaces. I love this book.

Arundel Castle

Arundel Castle has the unusual distinction of being both an ancient castle and a stately home. Set high on a hill in West Sussex, this great castle commands the surrounding landscape with magnificent views across the South Downs and the River Arun. Built at the end of the 11th Century, Arundel Castle has been the family home of the Dukes of Norfolk and their ancestors for over 850 years.
