Dear Roy, Thanks so much for this very interesting input. Were the Reivers a group of people or a family name - I've not heard of them before. It's sounds like the Borders weren't a very safe place to live! I have an Armstrong commencing with a ggggg-grandmother!

5. [SCT-ROXBURGH] Men in Tartan [1]
I have seen many men wearing a Kilt, about High Streets in smaller towns in Scotland. Possibly they may have worked in the tourist area, hard to tell. Also, I was told that a Kilt, has become the Evening ( male), dress of choice. Certainly one sees the Kilt more often now, than even 20 yrs ago, & may be it is a cultural statement. The Kilt appears to be worn with more pride, than those souls wearing jeans falling below the natural waistline, frayed, & either baggy, or too tight for the person wearing th

Tartan Day was first a Canadian holiday, not American. On December 19th 1991, in response to action initiated by the Clans & Scottish Societies of Canada, the Ontario Legislature passed a resolution proclaiming April 6th as Tartan Day, following the example of other Canadian provinces. America followed suit on March 20th 1998, when Senate Resolution 155 (S.Res. 155) "This resolution recognizes the monumental achievements and invaluable contributions made by Scottish Americans " I'm sure the Canadian ve

Absolutely correct about the arbitrary (300 / 400 whatever) timeframes. We can assume those of Viking descent from 800AD and those of Norman descent from 1100 AD were there and made things plenty hot before the term *Reiver* became popular. Some violent entities were on that border 500 AD onward and the Romans knew them all too well. Vikings, (Norse and Danes) and Normans came later, but after 1000 AD for a hundred or more years there was plenty going on with the border. Even the Normans who swallowed En

Hi List, Found this wonderful old Lieutenancy Book showing the names of the men who were balloted to serve in the Militia 1797-1802 in Roxboroughshire. It's on line at http://www.scan.org.uk/researchtools/lieutenancy.htm. Some of the images are difficult to read. Images of a few other documents from other areas of Scotland also available. Hope you enjoy it and happy hunting! Andrea in Mallorca - sunny at last!

A hundred years ago people could have used the railway for most of the journey, but I reckon it was quite pricey. Still, the journey would be just a few hours. In days gone by a fit young man could walk from Selkirk to Edinburgh in a day, and many did. Not now of course, due to roads and development of the landscape.

Hi everybody, Although I have been lurking on the list for sometime now, this is my first posting.

I have traced back to Andrew's grandfather and my 4th great-grandfather, Robert Clark (?Clerk) b Abt 1745 in Bowden, Roxburgh, m Abt 1763 to Margaret Wilkie who was b Abt 1749 also in Bowden.

15. [SCT-ROXBURGH] ROBERTSON [1]
Each week the Southern Reporter carries an old phottie for readers to comment on. This week's subject was a row of four men resting on huge woodaxes. The location is Longnewton Forest (just north of Ancrum) and at first glance the picture looks modern - two of the men have very long hippy-type hair. But the caption states that the date was 1946. The reason that Alexander and William ROBERTSON have long hair is because of their Jewish faith. Alexander (it says) was a famous runner. At a guess these two men

Dear Roy, Thank you for all this wonderful information. I'm rather curious the sources which were researched to find out this information. I've actually borrowed some books from our local library on the history of Scotland. We don't have great resources - I live in a country area of New South Wales - the population is around 25,000 which is pretty good by country standards, I guess. Once again, Thanks ever so much.

Hooray for your comments " In the 21st century, when we promote Scotland in the USA, we call in the bagpipers and dream up something called Tartan Day." Every time I have flown on a plane which left the Glasgow airport for North America or flew too the Glasgow airport from North America , there has always been some kilted big beer bellied man amongst the passengers.

25. Re: [SCT-ROXBURGH] Quietness of the list. [1]
Hi all, I think it's a great idea to generate discussion on relevant topics. My own personal interest is: Does anyone know some of the local history of Roxburghshire for the last few hundred years. I know one can glean a few ideas from the Stastical Accounts, but it doesn't describe military tensions; the relationship with England, battles, etc. Yours Christine Australia -----Original Message----- From: Roy Perkins To: SCT-ROXBURGH-L@rootsweb.com
