Stichill Kirk

Stichill Kirk is an ancient church situated in the village of Stichill in the old county of Roxburghshire, now part of the Scottish Borders Council in Scotland.

The village lies 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the abbey town of Kelso on the B6643 road and is at grid reference NT713383.

[3] In the early years, the church of Stichil was in the patronage of the Earls of Dunbar but later in the century, the monks of Kelso obtained both the parish and the church.

[3] In 1640 the parishes of Stichill and Hume were united and the Parochial records have been kept since that time.

[5] The present parish church was built in 1770 before a virtual reconstruction in 1869 followed by major renovation in 1906.
