The Raid of the Redeswire was a border skirmish between England and Scotland on July 7 1575.

It took place at the Cheviot pass which enters Redesdale, between the English Warden of the Middle Marches, Sir John Forster, and the Keeper of Liddesdale, Sir John Carmichael.

Through the timely arrival of the men of Jedburgh the Scots proved victorious, and turned into a border ballad.
