Hard cover, 8vo., 117pp. Three quarters leather bound. Condition: Very Good. Light wear to covers, with small amounts of fraying to edges of boards. ** Printed for the Bannatyne Club from a manuscript. The siege of the castle happened just after the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688, in which William of Orange took over the throne of England from James VII, whose supporter, the Duke of Gordon, held the castle and refused to hand it over to the "Protestant Conventionists". The Bannatyne Club was founded by Sir Walter Scott to print rare works of Scottish interest. The book is inscribed and signed by the Duke of Sutherland, saying that it was given to him by a fellow member of the Bannatyne Club, Sir David Dundas, in 1849.
