Praise for Albany's improvements in Scotland was published in the "Sommaire de l'Origine Description et Merveilles d'Escosse" (1538) by Jehan dit Le-Fresne Des-Montiers. Albany was linked to his buildings at Dunbar Castle which he rendered impregnable, and he was said to have improved agriculture in Scotland. An article by the historian Bryony Coombs further explores the activities of the Duke of Albany and his architectural and artistic connections that informed the design of the artillery blockhouse at Dunbar Castle and situates the building in a European context.
