Summary "Wilson's Tales of the Borders and of Scotland, Volume 12" by Wilson and Leighton is a collection of historical, traditional, and imaginative tales written in the late 19th century. This volume features various stories that explore themes of adventure, honor, and love against the backdrop of the Scottish landscape and culture. Among the characters presented are fur-gatherers, hunters, and other figures entangled in both romantic and dramatic escapades. At the start of the collection, the narrative introduces two fur-gatherers, Innes Cameron and Sandy Munro, who are struggling against a harsh winter storm in the wilds of Hudson's Bay. As they find refuge in a log-house, they engage in conversation that reveals their backgrounds and aspirations, particularly Innes' longing for a lost love back in Scotland. The tale takes a tense turn when they encounter a nearly lifeless stranger, a fellow Scottish hunter lost in the snow, whom they manage to save, showcasing themes of camaraderie and resilience in dire circumstances. This opening portion sets the tone for the exploration of Scottish identity and the richness of its storytelling tradition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
