The hot trod : a history of the Anglo-Scottish border

Sadler, John, 1953-2024
Books, Manuscripts
The 2014 Scottish independence debate and the re-ignition of the SNP's call for a second vote in the wake of Brexit begs a reappraisal of what nationality and borderer identity actually mean in the twenty-first century and how the past affects this. As a borderer and historian John Sadler examines the border from Roman times to today. He's been in these Marches all his life, studied and read about their wild inhabitants, traversed every inch and studied every castle, bastle, tower and battlefield. From the Hammer of the Scots, William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and Mary, Queen of Scots, right through to today's new nationalism, the story of the borderlands is tempestuous, bloody and fascinating.
