This church stands in a lovely location, overlooking the Teviot valley and the town of Hawick in the distance.

Perhaps the most impressive thing here is the statue of Willie Legat, found in the churchyard. It shows him with his dog, a bonnet and a basket. He lived in the 18th century, and was considered to be 'simple-minded' and thrived in the local community here. Interesting to see a statue of one of the regular folk!
