The accumulated styles range from the traditional to the modern, encompassing all those features that are unique to the Scottish way of life.
Lesley Astaire, the well-known interior decorator, and Roddy Martine, former editor of Scottish Field, are co-authors of Living in the Highlands, published by Thames & Hudson (2000). Fritz von der Schulenburg is known for his photographic work for The World of Interiors magazine.
