Summary: "Border Raids and Reivers" by Robert Borland is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the intriguing phenomenon of Border reiving that took place along the Scottish Borders, where clans engaged in a cycle of plunder and retaliation over several centuries. It explores the lives and motivations of the reivers, contextualizing their actions within the broader historical conflict between Scotland and England.
