Who we are
Welcome to Cheviot Churches.
We are a congregation of the Church of Scotland serving Christ and his people in valleys and villages in the shadow of the Cheviots. Everyone is most welcome to join us for worship - and all our churches are open during daylight hours. This website is both for locals and visitors. In an extended rural parish, we hope to stay in touch with you, through sharing information here.
We are also aware of the number of people around the world who have connections with our parishes and to you and to those many visitors who are planning to visit or walk through our area we hope we can stimulate you by both our ministry here and by the joy of simply being in such a wonderful setting.
Yetholm
Yetholm church, built in 1836 (to replace the last thatched church in Scotland) is built of dark local granite, but the exterior belies the light and airy interior.
Recently thoroughly redecorated and refurbished, with audio visual equipment, moveable chairs and other mod cons the space is used not just for regular worship by for a variety of church and community activities.
Morebattle
Morebattle church is found in the heart of the village. It is a very attractive and well maintained country church rich in internal features. As you enter and leave the building there is a spectacular view of the Cheviot Hills. As with Yetholm there is regular worship here on a Sunday morning.
Linton
Standing on a sandy mound, which used to be surrounded by water and marshland, is Linton church. The site has been a site for worship for over 900 years. It is a place of unique peace and spirituality. Although only a mile from Morebattle, the old parish streched for a considerable distance to thte north. There is worship here once a month - and on special occasions.
Hownam
Hownam parish runs for many miles along the Border ridge, before descending with the Kale Water towards Morebattle. It is parish of hill farms. Services in the kirk are intermittent.
Hoselaw
Cheviot Churches owns - and uses - a small chapel at the north end of Linton parish. It was built in the early 20th century by the surprisingly 'high church' minister of the parish, Dr Leishman, for the benefit a parishoners remote from the main kirk. We still use this atmospheric building for communion services and for the three-hour Easter meditation service.

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
