What reading level is Upper Annandale Its History And Traditions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some years after the death of Lord Maxwell his brother was made Earl of Nithsdale, as if to make up for the misfortunes of the Maxwells.
When King James had been fourteen years settled in England, he took a homesick turn, and came north and visited the Borderland. At Dumfries they entertained him royally ; and all went merrily as a marriage bell till they set before King James some fish called vendace, a fish nowhere found except in the Castle loch of Lochmaben. King James thought they looked p...eculiar and smelled peculiar ; and, remembering all the wildness of the Borders when he was King of Scotland, he sprang to his feet and shouted, " Treason ! " Nor would he believe the canny folk of Dumfries were not meaning to poison him till they removed the offending dish.
But the Borderland was changed now. In 1623 both Lord Maxwell and the Laird of Lochwood came before the Council, and were publicly reconciled. Johnstone got the title of Lord Johnstone and Earl of Hartfell.
In 1629 the lands of "Barony of Moflatdale and Evan- dale, " part of the Herries and Maxwell estate, was purchased by James Johnstone, first Earl of Hartfell.
