PROJECT
More than 150 young people will be involved in exploring the history of the Border Reiver clans that inhabited the Scottish and English Borders for around 350 years until the late 16th century. They will compare the Reiver times with their own culture, attitudes and experiences through information gathering, workshops, historic site visits and production of artwork.
