Raiders Along the Anglo-Scottish Border

Jon Tait

£25.00

Like Gomorrah with horses - that's probably the best way to describe the stories of those inhabiting the heather-clad hills between England and Scotland who were strung up on gallows during the turbulent period of the border reivers and after, when King James I/VI attempted to 'Pacify the Border'. They were executed in places such as Edinburgh, Dumfries, Jedburgh, Hawick, Alnwick, Newcastle, Hexham and Carlisle in a period marked by conflict between the two great nations where their land became a warzone. The March Laws that the border reivers lived under were finally ended in 1603 when King James ascended to the English throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth I - and the 'pacification' of the criminal gangs began.
