England Sign
The people in this area do not view themselves as English or Scottish but a race apart - Borderers. An area that, in the years gone by, was full of raiding and ravaging across the Border, which kept moving. The history of the Border Reivers is explained in Jedburgh.
Beautiful views and ever changing light makes it a lovely area to explore.
