I'm looking for a gift for my dad, he's been really into Scottish history lately and voiced wanted to read fiction in this realm. I was thinking Sir Walter Scott like Waverley or Rob Roy, but he's not a huge reader of fiction and tends to have a hard time finishing a book if it's long and wordy, which I saw some reviews which voiced this. I also have never read these myself so I am concerned about the reading level for him.
So wondering if either of these would be suitable for him or if anyone has a suggestion for a Scottish historical fiction novel (preferably by a Scottish author) or Scottish classic that is more on the adventure side but relatively easy to read and not super long. I'm thinking he would probably be most interested in the Jacobite era but open to other suggestions. As well I don't think he's huge into romance in books, but would be fine if it's a small subplot.
