Episode 40

Helen Mark meets historian Brenda Collins who has a great love of Helen's home town of Kelso in the Scottish Borders, and in whose family, like Helen's, there is a distinctive Borders name. Brenda tells Helen about the reivers, and shares her thoughts on the origin of the name for these border raiders. There's poetry from James Fenton, Charlie Gillen, and Wilson Burgess, and William Roulston tells Helen about this year's family history conferences organised by the Ulster Historical Foundation.
