The Borders by Alistair Moffat
A story of the border: a place of beginnings and endings, of differences and similarities. This is also the story of an ancient place; where hunter-gatherers penetrated into the virgin interior, where Celtic warlords ruled, the Romans came but could not conquer, and where the glittering kingdom of Northumbria thrived.'Beautifully written, a fine book'
* Sunday Herald *'Highly readable - a lively, clear style'
* Northern History *'Quirky, learned and utterly absorbing'
