What reading level is Recollections of a Scottish Novelist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Although it is to the discredit of a forefather, I must tell what happened on one occasion at Rossdhu, as it explains what has often puzzled readers of certain novels and poems.
We Colquhouns have been asked over and over again, " How is it that there is scarcely any mention of your family in Scott's famous novel Rob Roy, which is cast in your own country, and wherein the best scenes take place on your own lands .'' " The same inquiry has been made respecting The Lady of the Lake, wherein the s...olitary reference to us is scarcely polite, and certainly not true. " Glen Luss and Rossdhu " are not " smoking in ruin," nor do " The best of Lomond lie dead on her side " ; but Sir Walter had his own reasons for putting such statements into the mouth of our heredi- tary enemies, the Macgregors.
When engaged on the novel — which preceded the poem — he travelled down to Loch Lomond-side to collect material and obtain local colour, and presented himself at the then Sir James Colquhoun's door, confident of welcome and assistance.
