What reading level is The History of Old Cumnock book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The most valuable memorial to be found in our town, is the Covenanting banner, in the keeping of Mr. Douglas M'Geachin. It has been wrought by careful hands and sewn with special skill, but we shall never know who were engaged in the work of producing it.
Tradition asserts that it was unfurled at Drumclog.
For many years the flag lay forgotten in the house of a medical practitioner, Dr. Kirkland. On its discovery some time before 1830, its value and interest were at once recognised. It was freq...uently borne in public processions at the time of the Reform Bill, as if in proof of the kinship of the Covenanters of 1680, with the Reformers of 1832. It is now somewhat torn, and its inscription partly defaced. It is easy, however, to supply what has been lost. After a scroll in which the name of our town is inserted, there runs in Latin the device, Pro Religione et Patiiia.
The material of which it is made is cream-coloured silk. At one of the upper corners, there is a St. Andrew's cross on a blue ground.
