By the way, this morning I attended ScottishIndexes Conferences, where Andrew Armstrong provided a marvellous talk on the Border Reivers including Kinmont. Great details.
Great story! I'm trying to imagine how 500 men could not be heard by those in the castle. Hmmm, I have some Armstrongs in my ancestry, knew they were originally from the 'debatable land'.

Ah, fantastic! Such an interesting subject/era.
Thanks for an interesting bit of history.

Thanks! Yes, I suspect Scrope had an incentive to make it seem like the odds were completely against him.
