The Borders : a history of the Borders from earliest times

Moffat, Alistair, 1950-2007
Books, Manuscripts
This text is a history of the Borders from earliest times, from the author of 'The Edinburgh Fringe', 'Remembering Charles Rennie Mackintosh' and 'Arthur and the Lost Kingdoms'. This is the story of the border. A place of beginnings and endings, of differences and similarities. It is the story of England and Scotland, told not from the remoteness of London or Edinburgh or in the tired terms on national histories, but up close and personal, toe to toe and eyeball to eyeball across the Tweed, the Cheviots, the Esk and the tidal races of the upper Solway. This is a tale told in blood, fun and granite-hard memory.
