Mrs. William Platt
Known mainly for a collaborative volume on Border history and legend, this elusive writer remains more a name on a title page than a fully documented figure. The surviving record points to a co-author of a lively early-20th-century collection that blends Scottish history, ballad tradition, and local storytelling.

Stories of the Scottish Border
by William Platt, Mrs. William Platt
About the author
Very little confirmed biographical information about Mrs. William Platt appears to survive online. Reliable catalog and public-domain sources consistently connect her with Stories of the Scottish Border, a book credited to Mr. and Mrs. William Platt and published in the early 20th century.
That book draws on the folklore, battles, ballads, and family legends of the Anglo-Scottish borderlands. Its appeal lies in the way it presents history through vivid anecdote and traditional song, making the region's turbulent past approachable for general readers.
Because so little about her life is clearly documented in the sources I found, it is safest to remember Mrs. William Platt primarily through this collaborative work rather than through a detailed personal biography. No suitable verified portrait image was available from the pages I checked.
