The Border Country is an area of great beauty and has the capacity to imprint its unique charisma on every visitor. It is a fascinating and romantic area and yet the stories of its bloody history can still chill the soul. This was the long-disputed Border Region separating the continually warring kingdoms of England and Scotland - a land of few law-abiding people and a land where no man dare venture unarmed. If you have a reiver name (such as Armstrong, Nixon, the Milburn, the Kerr, the Dodd , the Robson, the Graham or Elliots), or suspect your ancestors were just a load of villains up to no good, then this well researched and lavishly illustrated new book could just confirm your worst fears!
