Summary "Wilson's Tales of the Borders and of Scotland, Volume 05" by Wilson and Leighton is a collection of historical, traditional, and imaginative stories written in the late 19th century. This volume includes various tales that highlight life in the Borders and Scotland, blending elements of folklore and narrative fiction. The opening story, "Bill Stanley; or, A Sailor's Story," introduces a cast of characters including Bill Stanley, an old sailor, and his beloved, Mary Danvers, as they navigate themes of love, loss, and societal expectations." "At the start of the collection, the reader is drawn into the picturesque setting of the Fern Isles, where an old sailor captivates the company with the tale of his friend, Bill Stanley. The backstory reveals the hardships faced by Bill, including the death of his mother and the societal pressures against his love for Mary, who is being pursued by a manipulative suitor. As their connection deepens, tensions rise with the imminent dangers of war and personal rivals, leading to a gripping narrative filled with emotional depth and social commentary."
