We've always loved this image of a woman walking through School Brae off the High St. in Peebles, 1970
Today we think it has an added poignancy, if it's #NotEssential don't go outside.

Liking this image of 'Old Geordy Syme / a famous piper in his time'! There'll be a chance to hear some fine Borders' piping in Hawick this June 11th, along with one or two Hogg songs, for #JamesHogg250. More to follow and, meantime, hats off (or chanter pinches) to Geordy!

We get the term ‘blackmail’ from the Border Reivers 🏴🏴
Reivers would order landowners to pay them to avoid being pillaged. The ‘mail’ in the word meant ‘tribute’. The ‘black’ is said to be a play on of ‘white money’, the term for silver coins (that paid legitimate rent)
