This is the history of the Kerrs of Ferniehirst, descendants of the  De Kers introduced into Ayrshire from Cherbourg by David I of Scotland. Displaced during the wars of independence the Kers allied themselves with the Black Douglas's supporting Wallace and Bruce, fighting for the freedom of Scotland against their English aggressors.

 

A tale of knights and courtiers, of war, murder, loyalty and survival played out through 400 years of conflict against a backdrop of the hills and valleys of the borderland  between Scotland and England.
