Accessing Scotland's Past Project

Built in 1801, this Church of Scotland manse sits within its own grounds, with views of the River Tweed to the south and the abbey ruins to the north-west. The manse is a large two-storeyed building with an attic and a basement, over which a flight of railed steps leads to the front door. It has a piended roof and the whole building is harled, with ashlar dressings (window surrounds and quoins). Records show that in 1832 the new minister, J M McCulloch, had considerable repairs made to the manse, though it not known what these were.
