The people of the wild, original medieval frontier community were Borderers before they were Scots or English. Their first allegiance was to their kinship group, their surname.
In this sensitive and scholarly work James Reed provides the lyrics of, and discusses their unique ballads; the surviving record of a community living in a world of poverty, thieving, killing, witchcraft, love and revenge.
