Border Country

BORDER COUNTRY: THE STORY OF BRITAIN’S FORGOTTEN MIDDLELAND

In these two films, Rory Stewart visits the border between Scotland and England and draws on his personal experience as diplomat and traveller in Iraq and Afghanistan to shed a completely new light on our island story. He takes us on a whirlwind tour of the forgotten 'Middleland', visiting Cumbrian shepherds, Northumbrian monks and eccentric aristocrats.
