BORDER REIVERS
www.clanhallsociety.org
For over 350 years, up to the end of the 16th Century, in the area along the Scottish and English border, there reigned the "Steel Bonnets" to the clash of steel and thundering hooves. The great border Clans feuded continuously among themselves. Robbery and blackmail were everyday professions - raiding, arson, kidnapping, murder and extortion were an acceptable part of the social system. The Scottish light cavalry, riding "Hobby" horses, were riding raiders known as the "Border Reivers".
