| | | New Social Group: Steel Bonnets
I'm extending an invitation to all descendents of the Border Reiving clans to join me in the social group I created: The Steel Bonnets.
Principal reiving clans were:
Armstrong, Bell, Burn, Charlton, Crozier, Dacre, Dodds, Douglas, Elliot, Fenwick, Forster, Graham, Hall, Harden, Irvine, Johnstone, Kerr, Maxwell, Milburn, Noble, Reed, Robson, Scott, Turnbull
There were others involved as well, but that list is a little long for this post.

You may add "Caig". Although not a clan our family comes from the Dumfries/Kirkcudbright/Gatehouse of Fleet areas. We are actually a sept of the Farquharsons of Invercauld.

A Robertson here, thinking fondly of the Raid on Angus ... probably because it's lunchtime.
