Berwick to Carlisle is NOT the border, that border was the Roman one, The border is about 8 miles North of Carlisle nr Gretna.
I know because I originate from there, our family name is one of the families that hark back to the Border Rievers, a bunch of murderous cutthroat borderers that used to roam the lowlands of Scotland, raping and pillaging the local Scottish population.... If they do get independence, one does wonder if the family can take up their old trade again
