What reading level is Banffshire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
S. D. S. D.
1882 ... 21 4 27 o 15 6 1910 ... 16 6 23 o ii 9 1919 ... 58 8 105 i 42 o 12. Distilling and Mining.
Banffshire takes a leading place in the United Kingdom in the production of malt whisky.
In the Highlands of the county smuggling was in former times very prevalent. High taxation and the interference with cottage stills encouraged illicit distillation; and Glen- livet, celebrated for generations for the quality of its whisky, was famous as a home of the smugglers. It has been said in...deed that smuggling houses were scattered on every rill all over its mountain glens. In the year 1823, when a troop of excise officers invaded Glenlivet, they found in the glen 200 "sma' stills" in active operation. The kegs were conveyed over the hills on horseback to Perth and Aberdeen; and many stories are still current of events connected with the traffic. It is on record that, when in 1824 a "legal" distillery was established in Glenlivet, such was the opposition of the smugglers that for some time the proprietor had to carry firearms for his protection.
