What reading level is Picturesque Scottish Scenery book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The traveller who is able to walk should endeavour to take the road which runs along the northern shore. He will thus be able to follow Scott's descriptions much more nearly than from the deck of the steamer, which does not go very near the point at which Fitz- James is supposed to emerge from the woods and come in sight of the water. The road, or rather path for it is impassable for carriages brings us first to Ellen's Isle^ which rises abruptly, covered with a thicket of dark foliage : " The ...stranger viewed the shore around, 'Twas all so close with copsewood bound, Nor track nor pathway might declare That human foot frequented there, Until the mountain-maiden showed A clambering unsuspected road, That winded through the tangled screen, And opened on a narrow green, Where weeping birch and willow round With their long fibres swept the ground. Here, for retreat in dangerous hour, Some chief had framed a rustic bower.
The wild-rose, eglantine, and broom, Wasted around their rich perfume ; The birch-trees wept in fragrant balm, The aspens slept beneath the calm ; The silver light, with quivering glance, Played on the water's still expanse, Wild were the heart whose passions' sway Could rage beneath the sober ray !" Loch Katrine.
