By William Aiton

CONDITION
A good copy of this very scarce work with no copies available for sale at the time of listing this one. The cloth binding is good. All contents present and pages good and clean throughout except for a few near the end of the book which have some light spotting. Little browning to title page. The frontispiece has spotting as can be seen in images provided. Overall good.
The Battle of Drumclog was fought on 1 June 1679, between a group of Covenanters and the forces of John Graham of Claverhouse, at Drumclog, in South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
The Battle of Bothwell Bridge, or Bothwell Brig, took place on 22 June 1679.
