Summary: "Wilson's Tales of the Borders and of Scotland, Volume 06" by Wilson and Leighton is a collection of historical and imaginative tales likely written in the late 19th century. This volume includes a variety of stories, notably featuring characters such as Madge Gordon, a patriotic widow determined to resist English occupation, and Florence Wilson, her son-in-law who contemplates the risks of standing against oppression. The narratives delve into themes of loyalty, identity, and the historical struggles of Scotland's borders. At the start of the collection, the tale "The Guidwife of Coldingham" introduces Madge Gordon, who passionately rants against the English invaders occupying Fast Castle, vowing to protect her land at all costs. Her fierce attitude is juxtaposed with the more cautious views of her daughter, Janet, and her betrothed, Florence Wilson, who grapples with the dangers of resistance. The story sets a tense backdrop of impending conflict as Madge's patriotic zeal inspires her to devise a plan to reclaim the castle, foreshadowing themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the complexities of human emotion in the face of adversity.
