Border Reiver Surnames

Way back in 2018 I mentioned Howard Mathieson's site The Geography of Surnames.

He recently added a web page on Border Reiver surnames. It includes maps of surname density for 67 of the most common surnames. All the usual suspects — Armstrong, Bell, Dacre, Elliot(t), Graham, Little, Moffat, Nixon, Scott and many more, but not Reid — are there. If you have the Archer Surname Atlas based on the 1881 census you'll already have the distribution for England.
