Hume John R. Dumfries and Galloway: An illustrated architectural guide

Rutland Press, 2000. — 228 p.Dumfries & Galloway is a distinctive, delightful and varied land. A microcosm of Scotland, this lesser-known region, here you will find unspoiled countryside, the sea, buildings built from the rich, red standstone and the sparkling grey granite. Great names from Scottish history are linked to this area and its buildings, including Robert the Bruce and Thomas Carlyle; and with them, influential architects such as the Adam family, James Smith, William Burn, and David Bryce.
The book is profusely illustrated, and covers still-standing works from the late medieval to the first half of the 20th century.
