Arthur’s Seat: Or The Church Of The Banned is a historical fiction novel written by John Hamilton and published in 1869. The story is set in Scotland during the 17th century, a time when religious tensions were high and the Presbyterian Church was in conflict with the ruling monarchy. The protagonist of the novel is a young man named Andrew, who is a member of the Presbyterian Church and becomes involved in a plot to overthrow the monarchy and establish a Presbyterian government. The plot is discovered and Andrew is arrested and sentenced to death. However, he is given a chance to escape and flee to a secret church located on the top of Arthur’s Seat, a hill in Edinburgh. The church is a refuge for those who have been banned from the Presbyterian Church and is led by a charismatic preacher named David. Andrew becomes a member of the church and becomes involved in a struggle against the forces of the monarchy and the Presbyterian Church. The novel explores themes of religious freedom, loyalty, and rebellion. It is a gripping tale of adventure and intrigue that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and Scottish history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
