The Border Reivers: Ancestors of the Anglo-Scottish Border

Monthly Branch Meeting

The Border Reivers: Ancestors of the Anglo-Scottish Border, a talk by Dr. David Hume.

The Border Clans were called the Riding Clans, Steel Bonnets or Reivers. In this talk by Dr. David Hume, himself of Scots Borders extraction, we will look at the story of the Border Clans, who they were, some of their stories and how they expanded to beyond the Borders – particularly to Ulster and to America.

If your name is Carr, Armstrong, Kerr, Elliott, Graham, Hume, Gordon, Heatherington, Irvine, Scott (other surnames are available) you should find this of interest!
