Exploring Castles

W. Douglas Simpson

The 'classic' castle story, for the general public, as told by Scottish historian Douglas Simpson. Readable and has some interesting content, such as the full description of Newcastle upon Tyne castle and the coverage of Scottish Tower Houses. However the historic concepts, particularly that of 'bastard feudalism', date the book seriously.

Published by Routledge and Kegan Paul (1957; London)
