"Highways and Byways in the Border" by Andrew Lang and John Lang is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. This work explores the cultural, historical, and natural landscapes of the Scottish-English Border region, drawing on legends, literary references, and personal anecdotes to paint a vivid picture of the area. The authors aim to highlight the rich tapestry of memories and stories that define the Border, engaging readers with tales of battles, folklore, and the picturesque scenery. At the start of the book, the preface indicates that the work stems from a collaborative endeavor, with John Lang reflecting on his late brother's intent to capture the essence of the Border region. The opening chapter introduces the Border as a place steeped in history and mythology, discussing its ever-shifting boundaries and the significance of places like Berwick. The narrative incorporates anecdotes, historical events, and local folklore while inviting readers to journey through the enchanting and often tumultuous history associated with this region, marked by tales of forays, battles, and even ghostly apparitions that linger in the landscape.
