The first of the reivers march into town this morning. This annual re-enactment commemorates the Borders clans of Armstrong, Elliot, Scott, Turnbull and others who would sometimes feud amongst themselves or would sometimes unite against English families such as the dreaded Howards or Routledges from across the Border.
