Today the Anglo-Scottish Border is a tranquil and beautiful place. But it hasn’t always been this way,
between the 11th and 16th centuries it was a lawless frontline between two rival and insecure kingdoms.
This book looks into the struggles and rivalries of the reivers and the men sent to control them, the
Wardens. Some of the most famous and infamous events are retold and the characters of the time
examined through stirring tales of courage, tragedy, intrigue and betrayal. The 28 walks take the reader
through the wild borderlands and trails used by the reiver to spirit away stolen cattle, into the lairs of the
most feared villains and to some of the 200 or so fortified buildings that remain. This book provides a
fascinating insight into the world of the Borderers in our not so distant past.

Andrew Lowes has lived in the North East of England all his life and has been walking in the border landscape since the age of five. With six reiver surnames in his family tree he has a deep held interest in one of the most colourful periods of history in the borderlands of England and Scotland.
