What reading level is The Berwick And Lothian Coasts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Both are plain but interesting examples of the Gothic of their periods. The new church has heavy arcades, separating centre and aisles ; in the old they have been re- moved and a sprawling roof substituted. But the real interest of the place is in its magnificent monuments of every period since the sixteenth century and in its Covenanter associations. The carven stone and marble that is crumbling into dust under a northern sky might form the rich adornments of one of the superbest cathedrals in... Christendom ; but here it is all strangely thrown away, and, with some noted exceptions, such as Bluidy Mackenzie, the more gorgeous the sepulchre the more insignificant was the owner of the dust below. Very nearly the plainest of all is the famed eighteenth-century tablet, which is con- spicuous in the upper photograph, that com- memorates in rugged verse the honoured Covenanter dead. At the far end of the wide grounds is the walled slope where so many of them were imprisoned, and in this churchyard the most famous Covenant was signed, * partly, by no means without appropriateness, with the blood of those who put to it initial or name.
