The Scottish Borders are abbey country. The great ruined houses of Melrose, Jedburgh, Kelso and Dryburgh, founded by David I in the twelfth century, remain among Scotland's most moving Christian sites, and the towns that grew beside them still gather in their kirks and churches every Sunday.

Whether you are in Newtown St Boswells or a village on the far side of the county, a church community is rarely far away. Our listings are drawn from public records, church websites and submissions from congregations themselves, and we are working towards a complete picture of Christian worship in every corner of Scottish Borders.
