Award-winning writer and local historian, stopped by to talk about his new book
We were delighted to welcome back award-winning writer, historian and local hero, Alistair Moffat.
Alistair Moffat is a life-long borderer and the ideal guide on this one-hundred mile journey. We begin just north of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Already the battlelines have been drawn – the town having been grabbed by the English from Berwickshire in 1482 and never given back. From here we will head west as our tour travels backwards and forwards through history. In all, we will walk through eight centuries before we reach journey’s end at the mouth of the River Sark.
Between Britain 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.
You can buy a copy of Between Britain by popping into the shop or by ordering it online HERE.
