This building will be known at once to be in the Scotch style. This style, which is also common in the north of France and in Flanders, prevails in all those parts of Scotland where freestone is abundant ; varying sometimes with plain tabling • with the tabling stones raised one above another like the steps of a stair, as in Design XI. ; or in various other forms, as in figs. 378 to 385. As the chief characteristic beauty of this manner of building depends on the gables, we have given these different forms, which the reader may vary at pleasure. The next characteristic is the storm-head windows, fig. 386; and these admit of as great a variety as the gable ends. A third distinction of this stj-le is the facings to the doors and windows, which may also be con- siderably varied. The chimney tops are generally very simple. Loopholes
