An Independent River
Along the River Teviot, Paul Murton discovers bloody reiving history, joins the Hawick Common Riding, visits a haunted jail, then reaches the Tweed where a king went off with a bang.
This Grand Tour follows the River Teviot through Teviotdale, once the haunt of notorious border reivers. In the town of Hawick, Paul Murton joins the annual Common Riding - an event that recalls the border wars with England. In Jedburgh, close to the ruined medieval abbey, Paul is reminded of a crazy night flight by Nazi deputy leader Rudolf Hess.
Paul then joins a paranormal researcher in an attempt to contact ghosts in Jedburgh’s old jail before heading to the river’s confluence with the Tweed - a location for a once-magnificent Scottish castle, and where a king went off with a bang.
