Saughtree Church, built in 1875, stands adjacent to the Victorian Saughtree House in the tranquil Scottish Borders region near Kielder. Once part of the parish of Castleton, the church stands picturesquely at the confluence of Liddel Water and Dawston Burn and is flanked by a former rectory dating from 1891, now privately used. Although no longer actively used for worship, the chapel remains an atmospheric and historic landmark in an area rich in walking trails, dark skies, and remnants of the Border Counties Railway—where Saughtree's former station now serves as a charming bed and breakfast.
