Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wilson's Tales of the Borders, and of Scotland, Vol. 2: Historical, Traditionary, and Imaginative With a Glossary
There were twenty of them, stout and bold men, mounted upon light and active horses - some armed with firelocks, and others with J eddart staves while, in addition to such weapons, every man had a good sword by his side. At their head was the fearless young laird; and, at a brisk pace, they set Off towards Elibank. Mothers and maidens ran to their cottage doors, and looked after them with fore boding hearts when they rode along; for it was a saying amongst them, that when young Willie Scott 0' Harden set his foot in the stirrup at night, there were to be swords drawn before morning. They knew, also, the feud between him and the house Of Elibank, and as well did they know that the Murrays were a resolute and a sturdy race.
