Covering the border hills, northern Northumberland and the Southern Uplands, this full-colour third edition of the guide offers a broad selection of around 50 routes, as well as outlining a number of long-distance trails which cross the region. The Border country that lies between England and Scotland is a countryside surrounded by ridge after high ridge rythmically fading into gently folding valleys, through which the Tweed and Teviot rivers flow. The area has been the scene of thousands of years of turbulent history, from the early Iron Age, through the Roman occupation, with influences down the years of both Celtic and Christian beliefs. The guide offers the hillwalker routes which will open up this broad and expansive landscape, giving a real taste of solitude and affinity with this unique area.

While the route descriptions are good, the mapping is poor and there is no index, making it difficult to find hills or places of interest. The location map is appalling, making it difficult to place the area in the context of southern Scotland. The route maps, while taken from the OS are often of a postage stamp size, again giving very little idea of where the routes are in area covered. Route titles are "smart alec" type so you have no way of knowing if the route is one you are interested in, but the major complaint is the lack of index. In this day it is unbelievable that a book of this type can be published without and index, which is indispensable to anyone planning on visiting the are.
