Vol XVI (2005) - In this miscellany volume, the work of the Bel Family of masons is explored, uncovering the fascinating insight into the plan and development of Scottish Renaissance tall-houses; the hitherto unknown history of Sir William Bruce's early life and career is revealed through important newly discovered sources; Robert Reid's role in establishing the Office of Works in Scotland and his position as the first salaried public sector architect is further explained; the enigma that was Hugh Miller's life is paralleled in the search of his equally illusive 'museum' detailed through careful deconstruction of his Portobello home, Shrub Mount; and finally, in an extended essay the absorbing truth about Sir Robert Matthew's Scotland is exposed, in particular the groundbreaking work in the establishment of a new conservation body for the crumbling Edinburgh New Town.

In addition this volume continues the Scottish Research Register and the Architectural Accessions to the National Monuments Record of Scotland.

It is the first volume to include the list of architectural accessions to the National Monuments Record of Scotland, and it contains the index to volumes I - X.

Vol IX (1998) - represents the new structure of the Journal, in that it is the first to benefit from an expanded panel of specialist advisors, who are all experts in the field of architectural history and conservation. Volume IX embraces this new structure using papers from our conference on Nationality and Scottish Architecture in addition to three papers exploring issues ranging from RIAS concepts of architect and sculptor to an investigation into wooden frontages in the mid 18th century and a study of the conservation of the historic interior.

Vol VIII (1997) - Caledonia Gothica - Pugin and the Gothic Revival in Scotland represents a fusion of the ideas, research and expertise of the Pugin scholars, ecclesiastical experts, and architectural historians who came together in October 1996 to explore the significant relationships between AWN Pugin, James Gillespie Graham and others, in the context of the Gothic Revival in Scotland.

Vol VII (1996) - Preserving Scottish Architects' Papers - Attic to Archive concentrates on the fate and future of architects' papers, and provides an intriguing insight into the nature of the collectors - often the saviours - of the records of Scotland's outstanding architectural heritage.

Vol V (1994) - is a broad survey of Scottish architecture encompassing four hundred years, from Linlithgow Palace through Edinburgh's New Town to Classical Modernism in Fifties Edinburgh, as well as the last of the Colin McWilliam lectures.

Vol IV (1993) - Robert Adam is the subject of this volume, but less the legacy he left to Scottish architecture than the inheritance he used himself and the many ways in which he adopted it.

Vol III (1992) -The Age of Mackintosh concentrates on shedding light on Mackintosh's so-called 'second rate' contemporaries and argues that they were equally important, if not more so, to the development of 20th century Scotland.

Vol II (1991) - is a study of Scottish Architects Abroad which emphasises their wide influence throughout the world from Lurgan in Northern Ireland to Jamaica.

Vol I (1990) - explores the work of William Adam, not only the father of Robert, John and James, but a talented architect himself whose fusion of Palladian, Baroque and Scottish features made his work highly original, moulding the intellectual climate in which the Scottish Enlightenment was to blossom.
