Borders, The: History from Earliest Times

In this acclaimed book, Alistair Moffat tells the story of a part of Scotland that has played a huge role in the nation’s history
and moved poets, painters and writers as well as ordinary people for hundreds of years.
The hunter-gatherers who first penetrated the virgin interior, the Celtic warlords, the Romans, the Northumbrians and the
Reivers, who dominated the Anglo-Scottish borderlands for over 300 years, have all had their part to play in the constantly
evolving life of the area. It is the people of a place that make its history and Alistair Moffat’s book is a testament to those
who have made the Borders their home, and who have created the traditions, myths and romance that define it so
strongly.
