Honouring the struggle

Between the late 13th and early 17th century, the Borders were a contested land, and raids on either side were common. Music and re-enactments show what life was like for the people who lived in an area of almost constant dispute. The festival runs from 22-24 March, with fireworks, family histories and a 16th century banquet. More details can be found at www.hawickreivers.com
