The true story of Scottish Border Shepherds struggling to keep their flocks alive 

 

This  book tells of country life as it really is; the hill sheep flocks and the farmers that look after them.

 

The Borders winters can be long, hard and bitter.  The worst of them are in the viciousness of the second bite; like the one that hurled into the Scottish Borders on the night of the Tuesday of the last week in March.

 

That was a reckoning that devasted the countryside, killed livestock by the thousand, and destroyed the livlihoods of good country folk who had done no wrong and deserved better.
