Led by a story from John Mackay Wilson, the author of Tales of the Borders, this volume opens with a gypsy’s vengeance on the Laird of Clennel and adds tales by several hands: rival nightcaps, a merchant’s daughter, a village beauty, a legend of Merton and the ghostly coach of Edinburgh’s notorious Major Weir. The settings are farms, inns and old town closes of Lowland Scotland.
