What reading level is Scotland's Ruined Abbeys book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But taking into account a probable difference in date of twenty years, the sen- timents of the reigning monarch toward St. Thomas and the evidence adduced to show that a Richard and not a Hugh was instrumental in the establishing of this abbey, it seems impartial to assign the disputed honour to a scion of the house of Morville and not to the sancticide. Pont, who saw what no other writer ever saw, — the chartulary of the abbey, — also insists that it was founded in 1191, but, on the authority ...of the Melrose Chronicle again, we learn that Sir Richard Morville, son of Sir Hugh, died in the year n 89. Besides this, the monumental evidence would show that the abbey was at least partly built as early as the building of Arbroath abbey, which was dedicated in 1 1 78.
The oldest portions of the few fragments that we have of this once very extensive abbey support the assumption that the ancient cell of St. Vinnen was not replaced by a great monastery until toward the close of the twelfth century, though 206 SCOTLAND'S RUINED ABBEYS they prove almost conclusively that the thirteenth had not yet dawned when building operations were commenced here.
