Keith Durham examines the Border fortresses erected when raiding, or 'reiving', was a way of life. He finds small, well-defended castles, imposing tower houses, or 'peles', and a variety of fortified farmhouses known as 'bastles'. He also looks at the many churches that were strengthened against attack.
