New Battlefield Guides

Now in stock, two new guides to battlefields in Dumfries and Galloway. Death of a King's Man Troublesome Wardens and The Battle fof Dryfe Sands highlights the biggest clan battle in Scotland between the feuding Maxwells and Johnstones in 1593. Where True Valour is Only to be Seen details the battle of Sark in 1448, an encounter near Gretna that saw the English suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Scots. Both books have been written by battlefield historian Stephen Maggs and are the first in a new series to focus on battles in the region. Available from Solway Books price £4.95.
