Summary "Wilson's Tales of the Borders and of Scotland, Volume 11" by Wilson and Leighton is a collection of historical, traditional, and imaginative stories written in the late 19th century. This volume features various tales that reflect the culture and narratives from the Scottish borders, showcasing the lives and experiences of characters from diverse backgrounds and circumstances. The opening of the collection introduces readers to "The Dominie's Class," narrated by an old schoolmaster, Mr. Grierson, who fondly recalls his past students, culminating in the poignant story of "Solitary Sandy." As Mr. Grierson shares anecdotes about his former pupils, he highlights the contrasts in their fates, revealing themes of ambition, love, and loss as he recounts the trajectory of Sandy's life—from a promising scholar with a gift for poetry to a tragic figure haunted by unfulfilled potential and the loss of his beloved, Ann. This intimate and nostalgic narrative sets the tone for the rest of the collection, inviting readers to reflect on the complexities of personal relationships and the passage of time.
