Scottish border forces conducted a major raid into Redesdale in 1523 during the same period that Surrey was organising his retaliatory operations against Teviotdale. The Scottish raid into Redesdale targeted the English Middle March's most vulnerable valley, burning farmsteadings and driving off livestock. Redesdale's remoteness made it a perpetual target — its communities were far from any significant English garrison and the valley roads provided easy entry and exit for mobile Scottish raiding parties operating from the Borders.
