9th January - Highland Retreats: The Architecture and Interiors of Scotland's Romantic North

Event type: General Meeting
Date: 9th January 2026
Time: 10:30 am
Venue: Inverness Town House


Mary Miers, architectural historian, writer, and the Fine Arts and Books Editor at Country Life magazine, tells the story of how Scotland’s most remarkable and dramatic country houses came to be built amid the wild mountain glens of Britain’s most spectacular landscape. It is both a vivid social history and the first serious study of how the romanticised Highlands influenced architecture and taste from the late 18th century to the present day.
