Border Reiver territory straddles the once fiercely contested Borderline between England and Scotland. Border lands stretch from the Solway Firth to the North Sea.
The Reiver came from every social class from labourer to peer of the realm. He was a skilled horseman and fine guerrilla soldier, practised in the fine arts of arson, kidnapping and extortion. There was no social stigma attached to reiving, it was simply an accepted way of life.
A romanticised image of a notorious raider, Walter Scott of Harden. The reivers were both English and Scottish and raided both sides of the border impartially, so long as the people they raided had no powerful protectors and no connection to their own kin.
