To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his way along the side of the Ochils to the memo- rable field of Kilsyth, he passed the gate of one of the stateliest of the fortresses of his hated adversary Argyll. The opportunity was too tempting to be overcome ; and, indeed, he only pursued the system of warfare adopted by both sides, when he sacked and burned Castle Campbell.

It is a matter curious, and not in itself unpleasing, that the principal places noted in the great tragedy of Macbeth should still present two remarkable baronial edifices — the huge tall isolated pile of Glammis, and the grim keep of Cawdor, surrounded by its rambling, irregular, half-fortified outworks. Their true association, however, is more with the days of Shakspeare than those of Macbeth. Perhaps some part of the great tower of Glammis may be as old as the thirteenth century, but no portion of Cawdor is older than the fifteenth ; and though its threatening draw- bridge, its vaults, and its dark corridors, may aptly associate themselves with the " I have done the deed; — didst thou not hear a noise?" yet the time when they were built was more distant from the days of Macbeth on one side, than from those of Queen Victoria on the other.
