Hello Lesley,

I came across this site at about the same time as you did.
As it says; it does take some time to load, and it would take a long time to search through the pages.

I have known about this book 'Rulewater and its People' by George Tankred, for many years.  It is certainly well worth a look at, or if one has the opportunity to obtain a copy this is even better.

I was first given a photocopy of a couple of pages, which are relevant to our family.  I decided I wanted to know more so I tracked down a copy.  It was money well spent!

If anyone was looking for a copy of the book, I may be able to find out if they are still available.

I agree that this is a fascinating book. Even if you had no ancestors from that area, it would still be a good read.  Tancred twice mentions my 5 x great-grandfather William Stephenson of Longburnshiels (now Langburnshiels).

Another interesting book on the area is Michael J.H. Robson "A Break With The Past. Changed Days on Two Border Sheep Farms (Langburnshiels and Riccarton)"  (Newcastleton, 1991). I bought my copy direct from the author, who then lived at Ovenshank, Newcastleton.

Hi All,
I have a copy of a book which I purchased several years ago.
The book was first published in 1907 and it was specially produced by Cedric Chivers Ltd, Bristol for Borders Regional Library, Selkirk in 1992.
