Maxton
The records show that in 1326 a church was gifted to Dryburgh Abbey by the Bishop of Glasgow and dedicated to St Cuthbert, though it is likely that a church occupied the site before this date. Maxton Church was almost completely rebuilt in approximately 1812. Although parts of an older building can be found at the west end of the building the addition of the North Aisle in 1866 marked the last phase of alterations.
Melrose
Melrose Parish Church opened in 1810, a simple square building with large galleries and a central pulpit. Almost totally destroyed by fire in the early 1908 only the tower remains from the original building, the new building was dedicated in 1911.
