Since I worked for a brief period of my life in the Scottish Borders, I know Galashiels and the statue in the photo by dmg quite well. It is, however, a bit misleading to describe that town as "home of the Border Reivers". The reivers ranged across a wide track of country on both sides of what is now the border between England and Scotland. But it wasn't a question of nationality but of family ties.
Here's the start of the Wiki entry:
Border reivers were raiders along the Anglo-Scottish border from the late 13th century to the beginning of the 17th century. Their ranks consisted of both Scottish and English families, and they raided the entire Border country without regard to their victims' nationality. Their heyday was perhaps in the last hundred years of their existence, during the time of the Stewart (sic?) Kings in Scotland and the Tudor dynasty in England.
Where I lived for many years, on the English side of the border, you could buy maps showing the different parts of the border country dominated by particular border families
