Between Britain: Walking the History of England and Scotland

Alistair Moffat
$16.11 $18.95

A walking tour of the border region where England and Scotland meet by the award-winning writer, meditating on a complicated, storied relationship through history


The border between England and Scotland is rich in history. It has been the site of battles, treaties, castles and crossroads. But it can also be a lens through which to look at the changing history and identities of these two countries.

Between Britain is a one-hundred-mile journey through eight centuries. It is a history book, a travelogue, a personal reminiscence and a gently prodding examination of national identity. But above all it is a celebration of a place and the people who live there.
