Christianity came early to the south-east of Scotland with the
coming of St. Cuthbert and St Kentigern. In time great abbeys and
priories were built bringing with them churches and chapels,
throughout the hills. All the Christian foundations suffered by
destruction or were subdued for centuries at the hands of invading
English armies but always recovered, always rebuilt in the
aftermath of the violence. Finally, at he coming of the Scottish
Reformation in 1560, the abbeys closed but the parish churches
continued in the new faith. Many have fallen in to ruin making way
for new churches but so many of the ancient ruins remain. It is to
them we turn our attention, learn of their roots and the men who
preached to the local people, the local lords and their benevolence
to the mother churches to which their own parish was affiliated.
Let us find out more of those medieval times in the region of
southern Scotland known as the Scottish Borders.
