Revised by Alexander Leighton, described as 'one of the original editors and contributors.' From wikipedia- John Mackay Wilson (15 August 1804 2 October 1835) was a Scottish writer famous for the eponymous "Wilson's Tales of The Borders (and of Scotland)" He was born in Tweedmouth, on the border between Scotland and England. He gave many talks to Temperance societies. Whilst editor of the Berwick Advertiser, Wilson began publishing local stories. Their popularity led to him reprinting and extending them into a weekly broadsheet, priced at 1 1/2d (a penny halfpenny) Although he died within a year, with his obituary published in issue 49, the Tales ran to 312 editions, in all carrying 485 tales or serialisations. After his death the Tales continued under the editorship of others, in part to provide income for his widow and family. The most notable contributor and subsequent editor being Alexander Leighton.
