Official guide to the abbey-church, palace, and environs of Holyroodhouse : with a historical sketch
An 1906 official guide to Holyrood Abbey and Palace in Edinburgh, written by Sir Herbert Eustace Maxwell and published by W. Blackwood and sons for visitors to the site. Its pictures are line engravings of the palace, its formal gardens and the abbey precinct, some after Gordon of Rothiemay's seventeenth-century plan and view, offering a designer clear examples of parterre knot patterns, tree-lined walks and early architectural elevations.
