Also profiled are the fragile ensembles of 18th-century housesArniston, Newhailes, Drumshown with their gardens, plasterwork, tapestries, furniture, and paintings. Most breathtaking of all is Hamilton Palace and its incomparable collections photographed months before the house was demolished and its treasures scattered.
