Old Mortality Volume 2 Chapter 10

from The Walter Scott Library · host Sir Walter Scott

In which the insurgent forces, riven by discord and distracted by religious zealotry, struggle to maintain their hold upon the crucial bridge of Bothwell, as their commanders strive to impose some measure of order and fortification against the approaching regular army. The tumultuous day of humiliation intended for solemn reflection devolves into fractious accusation and despair, and the sound of battle soon drowns their hymns, marking the onset of a desperate contest for their cause.
