Go back to the Sixteenth century to find out. Great book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Reivers Out *by A***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2012* This book is worth buying as it gets to the kernel of history by beginning with a big raid led by Scott of Buccleugh which resulted in the successful theft of livestock. It does something to dispel the romantic myth of reivers riding in moonlight like the tobacco and rum smugglers of a later period. A lot of better work has been done on the Anglo-Scottish border reivers like Macdonald Fraser's Steel Bonnets, Tough's Last Years of an Elizabethan Frontier, Watts on Northumberland and even Coulomb's thesis on The Debatable Lands. Moffat has dreadful errors like Henry VIII and the Clap. As we have known for sometime now syphilis did not originate in America among the Indians and wasn't introduced to Europe by Columbus' men it was present in Europe during the Middle Ages perhaps even in Roman Europe. Bones excavated in England have syphilitic structural damage decided by comparing them to known syphilitic damage. The box method where items of knowledge are conveyed in boxes is deplorably unnecessary and distracting from the text.I'm glad I bought this book as it is exciting and several of the 'riding' names mentioned in the appendix were unknown to me.The book conveys a true picture of brutal poverty. He could have added another appendix of border vocabulary like Tough did but with additions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars fascinating *by N***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 June 2022* A wonderfully researched and enjoyable read. The reader can almost imagine themselves riding through Liddesdale or Teviotdale on a moonlit winters night with much mischief to be made. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/55761306-the-reivers-the-story-of-the-border-reivers-paperback-16](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/55761306-the-reivers-the-story-of-the-border-reivers-paperback-16) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
