商品簡介
A team of researchers add another volume to the third series of the Scottish Burgh Surveys, which are designed to help local professionals and authorities creating planning and development policies and practices that take account of past development and perhaps lessons learned from it. It addresses the history and archaeology of both the burgh of Whithorn and the Isle of Whithorn, which were settled sometime before the fifth century and had acquired characteristics of a town by the late 10th or early 11th. After a character statement and executive summary, the chapters cover site and setting of buildings and street names, archaeology and history from prehistory and the Roman period to the 20th century, and the potential of Whithorn.
