Lunch in Edinburgh today with my old friend Dennis who presents me with my brand-new copy of this new volume. It covers the excavations and survey work at the castle over the period 1992-2011. It puts them into the context of the changing story of the castle itself, its parts and landscapes; and it relates them to the uses of the castle, particularly as a royal residence and a later fortress.
It is a specialist publication, with chapters on a range of technical aspects. But it is very nicely produced (by Historic Scotland) and astonishingly modestly-priced.
