Stories of the Scottish Border

Through a lyrical prelude that lets the Yarrow river sing, the collection opens on the rolling hills and deep glens of the Anglo‑Scottish frontier. The narrator sketches a rugged land where mist‑clad mountains and swift burns shape a community of fearless riders and hard‑working farmers, a place where ancient stone walls whisper of centuries of conflict and camaraderie.

Within these pages, sixteen vivid illustrations accompany a series of short tales that bring the Border’s colorful past to life. From daring cattle raids and bold skirmishes to moments of unexpected kindness, each story captures the hardy spirit of men and women who lived on the edge of two kingdoms. Listeners will feel the wind on the moor, hear the clatter of hooves, and sense the lingering romance that still haunts the valleys, even as peace finally settles over the land.
