Both reasonable, thanks.

After posting, I found this FWIW page:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Scottish_border

All I get from it is that before 1707 there was no clear border, just wild border territory. Now it is "marked." And if Burns is pissed off about this specific thing, could it have been determined at the north extreme of the disputed lands?

This would have settled several issues for locals - which law and which religion they fell under. Perhaps which tax structure? But I just had the feeling there were wider issues as well.

Oh well.
