From the early fourteenth century to the end of the sixteenth, the
Anglo-Scottish borderlands witnessed one of the most intense
periods of warfare and disorder ever seen in modern Europe. As a
consequence of near-constant conflict between England and Scotland,
Borderers suffered at the hands of marauding armies, who ravaged
the land, destroying crops, slaughtering cattle, burning
settlements and killing indiscriminately. Forced by extreme
circumstances, many Borderers took to reiving to ensure the
survival of their families and communities, and for the best part
of 300 years, countless raiding parties made their way over the
border. The story of the Reivers is one of survival, stealth,
treachery, ingenuity and deceit, expertly brought to life in
Alistair Moffat's acclaimed book.
