The Borders: The Lands We Share
NEW! Published February 2025.Andrew Bibby walks south from Edinburgh through the Scottish borders until he gets to the Cheviots and England… and then carries on walking until he reaches North Yorkshire and the river Swale. This is a book which celebrates the beauty of the border countryside by explaining why it looks the way it does. Andrew Bibby looks beneath the superficial to reveal how human interaction with the land has shaped the landscapes we know today – and how, particularly as a consequence of climate change, these landscapes are already being changed once again.
