The Story Of The Scottish Covenants In Outline is a non-fiction book written by David Hay Fleming and published in 1904. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the Scottish Covenanters and their struggle for religious freedom in the 17th century. The author covers the historical background of the Covenanters, including the Reformation in Scotland and the rise of Presbyterianism. He then explores the events leading up to the signing of the National Covenant in 1638, which was a document that affirmed the Presbyterian faith and opposed the interference of the English monarchy in Scottish affairs.
