Title: Thorough History of the Wall and its Pele Towers
Product review: I convene a Border Clan tent at various Scottish Games throughout the year, and was pleased to find this book.While most works on Hadrian's Wall are mainly for hikers, this one paints a detailed history of the wall back to 30 A.D. I especially liked its thorough timeline explaining the influence of the Scoti, Picts, Romans, Saxons, et al. on the Border region.Also included are a nice assortment of b&w; photos and diagrams of Border castles and pele towers, although I was disappointed that the Dallycastle Pele tower in Hexham and other smaller ones were not mentioned.It's nice to skim through for the photos, and the writing style is a reasonably fast read as well.So it's a 'keeper', and should be found in the library of anyone who professes to know the shadowy history of the Scottish Borders and the Wall.
