Hutton Primary School was closed in June 2005 after numbers fell to 15 pupils, on the basis of cost.

The Church at Hutton was dedicated by David de Bernham who was the Bishop of St Andrews on 6 April 1243.

When the false warning of Napoleon's invasion in 1804 was sent out from the beacon station at Hume Castle, the volunteers from the district made Hutton their rallying-point, and spent a night under arms in the old church.

In more recent history it became popular with Polish soldiers after they were posted to nearby Winfield camp in World War II.
