Talk:Scottish baronial architecture

message: I think the article needs to decide whether it is about Scottish Baronial Revival architecture, which is all it describes now, or whether it is about Scottish Baronial in general, a term which accomodates most surviving real castles and castle-like buildings...?

replies: text: A good point which I think is covered by use of the term "style". I've made some modifications to make it clear that this is the revival, a separate page on Scottish Baronial architecture could accommodate the sources, though IMO it drew on a variety of inspirations and it's not clear if there was an original "baronial" style. ...dave souza, talk 16:52, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I recently visited Dalmeny house. They describe its fasade as <B>Tudor Gothic</b>, not Baronial. I suggest we remove Dalmeny house as an example of Scottish Baronial. If no-one objects, I'll make this change in a few weeks. Alastair 08:44, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *You are quite correct they do indeed describe it so, although, to my eye,  I think just Gothic revival would be more accurate - especially considering the interior "Regency gothic"  Whatever it is -  while Baronial it does not have many Scottish baronial features so I have removed it.Giano | talk 10:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This page is somewhat confusing as 15th-18th century buildings are described as Scottish Baronial which then redirects here which seems to indicate the term was only really used in reference to the revival style? Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 19:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, as Visitscotland.com - Scottish castles notes, "Craigievar... this stylish 17th-century tower house is a fine example of the Scots baronial style of architecture at its best.", and the term is commonly used for a certain style of castle from older times as well as for the revival architecture. Why not acknowledge that on this page? ... dave souza, talk 20:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Confused

message: About 15 years ago, I can remember a new housing estate was built on the south side of Inverness, on the hill overlooking the firth.  The houses were advertised as being in Scottish Baronial Style.  They were to my mind not of a much higher quality than the average Wimpy, but they did have little turrets and battlements, and in the lounge of the showhouse there was a spiral staircase leading up into the turret.  Obviously this was a bit of a gimmick, but I wonder if the use of the term to refer to a modern commercial development is more widely known or deserves to be mentioned in the article?  --Doric Loon 20:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

message: According to the Oxford Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Baronial style is a 19th-century style and should not be applied to actual castles or Late Gothic/Stuart/Jacobean architecture in Scotland. I'm going to boldly remove the non-19th-century material. GPinkerton (talk) 21:42, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear GPinkerton. Thanks for having brought it up: there are definitively two subjects discussed in this article, which I called "Revival Scottish Baronial" and "Original Scottish Baronial" at the time when I was active on the article. Perhaps I should have better researched these terms I was fairly new to Wikipedia at the time and you are a far more experienced editor than I am. Do you think there should be two articles?

replies: text: Dear GPinkerton, Grognard Mirabilaire. Thanks for citing Oxford Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture above. I feel it should be cited in the article. Since you came up with the idea, I think the honour should be yours. Otherwise I could add the citation and a bit of corresponding text if you do not mind. With thanks, Johannes Johannes Schade (talk) 08:55, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

text: Material that referred to pre 19th century Scotch Baronial needs to be restored to the article. It's important to mention original Scotch Baronial, this revival is based on it. Article is incomplete and sorely lacking. Brtbng (talk) 17:03, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
