Keith Durham examines the Border fortresses erected when raiding, or 'reiving', was a way of life. He finds small, well-defended castles, imposing tower houses, or 'peles', and a variety of fortified farmhouses known as 'bastles'. He also looks at the many churches that were strengthened against attack.Durham, Keith is the author of 'Strongholds of the Border Reivers', published 2008 under ISBN 9781846031977 and ISBN 1846031974.
