As an aside, I visited Tullie House museum a while ago and the section about the Border reivers is quite fascinating. |
Despite a brief revival during the British civil wars, the reivers had disappeared by the end of the 17th century. |
Somehow he had the sensation that reivers will and his own had leaped to a grapple. |
The Pass of Ryvoan in the Cairngorms is both the beginnings and the end of an ancient cattle reivers ' trail. |
In the 18th century this route was often used by cattle thieves, or reivers, as they hurried to escape government troops. |
Mr. reivers is a gentleman and can be depended upon to keep his word. |
