| Summary | "Wilson's Tales of the Borders and of Scotland, Volume 01" by Wilson and Leighton is a collection of historical, traditional, and imaginative tales written in the late 19th century. This anthology features a series of narrations that reflect the culture, folklore, and historical events of the Scottish Borders, exploring themes of love, family, and community amid the backdrop of the region's dramatic landscapes. The opening of the collection introduces "The Vacant Chair," the story of Peter Elliot, a farmer divided between Scotland and England due to the peculiar position of his home. As Christmas approaches, the atmosphere shifts from festive to foreboding when Peter's beloved son, Thomas, goes missing on a day meant for celebration. This sets off a wave of anxiety among the family and friends gathered, ultimately transforming the joyous occasion into a search filled with sorrow and despair. The narrative establishes a profound connection between family ties and the heartache of loss, laying the groundwork for the emotional themes that resonate throughout the book.
