Reivers Restaurant
 
The story of the BORDER REIVERS is the story of the ongoing feuds between Scottish Clans and English families on either side of the Border between the 13th and 17th centuries.

A story of cross border cattle and sheep rustling (reiving), and in-fighting. The Border Reivers were in many ways not dissimilar to the outlaws of the American Wild West ...where greed, corruption and murder were the order of the day.

Out of this period of Border history comes the story of legends... where loyalties and acts of great courage are recorded on both sides of the border.

Many of the local families and clans who were involved over this period are highlighted in our menu and around Reivers Restaurant.

Sawney Beans Restaurant

SAWNEY BEAN was believed to have been the last known cannibal in Britain and is understood to have lived with his family in a cave in South West Scotland.

The disappearance of travelers who were ambushed by the Sawney Bean clan in the area led to the whole family being rounded up by King James VI who required 400 men to do the job. The gruesome family were taken to Edinburgh where they were executed.

The pictures around the restaurant highlight the story of Sawney Bean.
