Finished that up & just started Border Raids and Reivers by Robert Borland. Only in by a couple of chapters, but has some interesting stories about the Borders of Scotland and England and why they were the way they were in the 15th-18th centuries.
I have a copy of Borland, printed in 1898 and illustrated by Tom Scott. It's probably time to read it again.
