The Border: A History in 10.5 Chapters

One morning in late summer, Anton Hodge and his trusted companion Tony set out from Berwick-upon-Tweed to walk along the Anglo-Scottish Border. This book - "The Border: A History in 10 Chapters" - is the resulting account of that journey, re-telling their encounters with the people and the pubs, alongside a history of the frontier from prehistoric to modern times. It covers topics varying from the Romans to the Scottish Wars of Independence, the Border Reivers, fairytale weddings, man-made forests and Gretna Football Club.
