]]> Comment on Border Reivers Exhibition by Tom Moss http://www.elliotclan.com/border-reivers-exhibition/#comment-362 Tom Moss Tue, 26 Jul 2011 23:21:19 +0000 http://www.elliotclan.com/?p=457#comment-362 Good evening, Just read with great interest Margaret's speech on the Border Reivers Exhibition at Tuille House. In particular I noted her references to Kinmont Willie Armstrong and I would like to know if you would include a link to my website. In essence my site is about a book I have written about the capture and rescue of Kinmont Willie in 1596. It is told from two perspectives. I have researched the primary sources of the event to give a factual account of the capture and rescue and then used this to write a fictional account which is the majority of the book. It is called 'Deadlock and Deliverance'. I am currently writing another book about Border Ballads and Stories which I hope to publish in October. Also I have almost finished a book about the 'Rising of the North' in 1569/70 which involved the Liddesdale Border Reivers when the northern Earls sought sanctuary. This book is a few months away from being published. Jock of the Side was prominent in this episode of the rebellion or rising. I live in Walton, near Brampton and although a textile technologist by profession, I have always been avidly interested in history. When I moved north to firstly Carlisle, then Hawick, and then back to where I live now, I fell in love with the history of the English Scottish Border. I would dearly love a link to your site, Regards and best wishes, Tom. P.S. I have written many online articles in an effort to promote my book. Perhaps you might be interested in looking at the following: http://www.scotclans.com/bletherskite/?p=1676 Good evening,
