You get an insight into the attitudes of borderers when you realise that they didn't call the monarch King of Scots they mockingly called him King of the Lothians and Fife. There were edicts passed by several monarchs banning borderers from entering Scottish burghs because of their reputation for causing trouble. Their loyalties were to their own Lords and clan chiefs rather than to the crown.
