The Border - A History in 10½ Chapters

By Anton Hodge

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. The book – a History of the Border in 10½ Chapters – is the resulting account of that journey, retelling 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 Rievers, fairytale weddings, man-made forests and Gretna Football Club
