Forced by extreme circumstances many Borderers took to reiving to ensure the survival of their families and communities.

Here in the Borderlands the names of the fighting families are constant reminders of a turbulent past. If your name is one of these this is your story.

  As seen on Border Television. Only two British cities have endured for 2000 years - London and Carlisle. London celebrates its history in continuing power and prestige. Carlisle, on other hand, is often thought of as a quaint northern frontier town that went to sleep sometime shortly after the Border Wars. But now the writer and historian Alistair Moffat brings Carlisle's forgotten history to life. A City of Gods and Kings, War and Trade. It's a fascinating study of a City that for two millennia has stood at the crossroads of history.
