Gorrenberry Jubilee Wood
Background
Gorrenberry is an ecological restoration project which aims to restore much of the biodiversity of a substantial area in the Scottish Southern Uplands, while maintaining a varied pattern of economic activity at a sustainable level.
In 2011 Gorrenberry was a 935 hectare hill farm including four dwellings and two groups of steadings on the Hermitage Water, Roxburghshire, Scottish Borders (55.266827N, 2.845836W). It was purchased in March 2011 by Jane Bower and Ken Lyall. The farm is approximately 20 miles south of Hawick and is reached by the unclassified road between the A7 and the B6399 signposted to Hermitage Castle.

It is felt that reiver surnames were evolve from the localities the reiver surnames were in 1891, with some migration for instance north in Scotland from the border at the time of the Union of Scotland and England, but border reivers basically cover the area of Northumbria with the exception maybe with some location in Cumbria south of the east end of the border.
