Scots Baronial
- a style of architecture, popular in victorian Scotland which made a particular
feature of complex roof
lines, with bold chimneys, crow steps,
dormers, round towers
etc. With its origins in medieval and 16th century building, it represented a search for
a national style, which was echoed in England by the revival of Tudor and
Elizabethan. It
became very fashionable after the rebuilding of Balmoral and was not confined to Scotland,
there are some very good examples in Ireland.
