Gordon, Scottish Borders

Gordon is a village in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, within the historic county of Berwickshire.

[1] In 1171, the chapel at Gordon, dedicated to St. Michael, was transferred by the monks of Coldingham to their counterparts at Kelso in return for the church at Earlston.

A descendant of the family, James Seton of Touch, married Janet Edmonstone and it was they who built the tower in 1581.

[6] Modern Gordon has a Church of Scotland kirk, a nursery, a primary school, a lawn bowling club, a football pitch, a community woodland, children's play park, village hall, a public house/restaurant and village shop/takeaway.

The main street has not changed for many years though there has been much housing development at the north end of the village off Station Road.
