The entire 6 part series as seen
on ITV Border.
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
unimaginably at the hands of marauding armies, who
ravaged the land, destroying crops, slaughtering cattle, burning whole
settlements and killing indiscriminately. Forced by extreme circumstances,
many Borderers took to reiving to ensure the survival of their families and
communities. This television series is set in some of the most beautiful and
dramatic landscapes in the British Isles. Here in the Borderlands, the names
of the fighting families are constant reminders of a turbulent past. If your
name is one of these, this is your story.
A book to accompany this series is also available.
