What reading level is The History of Scotland Its Highlands Regiments And Clans volume 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The finishing blow was given to their hopes by the appointment of the king to the chief command of the army, and by the repeal of the " act of classes, " which excluded the Royalists from having any share in the administration of the affairs of the kingdom, and from serving their country.
In expectation of Cromwell's advance, the Scots had raised, during the spring, strong fortifications along the fords of the River Forth, to obstruct his passage, and had entrenched themselves at the Tor wood, ...having the 195 town of Stirling at their back, in which position Crom- well found them when he advanced west in July. As he considered it dangerous to attempt to carry such a strong position in the face of an army of about twenty thousand men (for such it is said was the number of the Scots), he endeavoured, by marches and countermarches, to draw them out; but although they followed his mo- tions, they took care not to commit themselves, by going too far from their lines of defence. Seeing no chance of bringing them to a general engagement, Cromwell adopted the bold plan of crossing the Frith of Forth at Queensferry, and of throwing himself into the rear of the Scottish army.
