The Scottish Covenanters is a historical book written by James Taylor in 1887. The book provides a detailed account of the Scottish Covenanters, a group of Scottish Presbyterians who signed the National Covenant in 1638 to protect their religious freedom and oppose the interference of the English monarchy in their religious affairs. The book traces the history of the Covenanters from their formation to their eventual defeat at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in 1679. The author delves into the political and religious landscape of Scotland during this period, providing insights into the conflicts between the Covenanters and the English monarchy, as well as the internal divisions within the Covenanter movement. The book also explores the impact of the Covenanters on Scottish society and their enduring legacy in the country’s history.The Scottish Covenanters is a well-researched and informative book that provides a comprehensive overview of this significant period in Scottish history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Scotland, the Presbyterian Church, or the struggles for religious freedom in Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
