In 1832, JM Wilson, Editor of the Berwick Advertiser, began publishing local stories, and by 1834 he published the first collection as ‘Wilsons Tales of the Borders, and of Scotland.’ a venture which became phenomenally successful, probably leading to his early demise in 1835.

The weekly Tales were continued after JMW’s death by his widow and new editors for a further 5 years.

We aim to bring the 400+ tales back to life for the benefit of modern audiences, and breath new life into his works, “Historical, Traditionary and Imaginative.”
