Summary "The Ecclesiastical Architecture of Scotland from the Earliest Christian Times to the Seventeenth Century" by David MacGibbon and Thomas Ross is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work delves into the development and characteristics of ecclesiastical structures across Scotland, providing insights into architectural styles from the early Christian period through the Reformation. The authors aim to document the significance of these buildings in relation to the nation's religious and cultural evolution. At the start of the work, the authors introduce their extensive exploration of Scottish ecclesiastical architecture, acknowledging their previous research on domestic and castellated structures. They outline the significance of ecclesiastical buildings, noting historical influences from Ireland and England that contributed to Scotland's architectural heritage. The intro lays a foundation for the discussion on the varying styles and designs, emphasizing the continuity and evolution of ecclesiastical architecture, while acknowledging gaps in preservation and knowledge regarding earlier structures. This introductory section serves to set the stage for a detailed examination of significant architectural examples, styles, and the historical context of church building practices in Scotland.
