In the Footsteps of Reivers

Brian Dingle

Venue: Heritage Hub, Hawick

Hawick Reivers Festival

Have you ever thought how a book comes to fruition? What brought the first seeds of an idea to the printed page? I’d like to take you through my new book “In the Footsteps of Reivers” where the idea came from. What motivated me to do it and what I left out. What areas I visited and the events that happened. How I went about finding a publisher and what they said about the manuscript. Then a guide through the publishing process of why the book took its final form.
Brian Dingle Brought up on the English side of the border, Brian retains a love of the area and its unique history. Combining this love of history with photographic skills, Brian has had success with his images from sports to Natural history and landscape. A published technical author Brian has turned his attention to his homeland and its rich history.

The Tower House – Not just a home, more a way of life.

Margaret Skea

Venue: Mansfield Park, Hawick RFC

Hawick Reivers Festival

The talk will consider location, architecture, and domestic features of the Scottish tower house, to illustrate how it not only reflected, but was essential to the reiver’s life and lifestyle. Hosted by Hawick Rotary Club
Tickets £15 – (Advanced Booking Essential) Available at Border Events, ILF Imaging, and Dorwards
Margaret Skea grew up in Northern Ireland during the ‘Troubles’, so is no stranger to conflict. Her passion is for authentic, atmospheric historical fiction. Her first novel, Turn of the Tide won her the Beryl Bainbridge Award for Best 1st Time Novelist 2014, and the sequel A House Divided was longlisted for the Historical Novel Society New Novel Award 2016. Both follow the fortunes of a fictional family trapped in the long-running and bloody feud between the Cunninghames and Montgomeries, known as the Ayrshire Vendetta, which had many features in common with the lifestyle of the Border Reivers.
