Old Photograph Yarrow Church Scotland
Old photograph of Yarrow Church and cemetery near Selkirk, Scottish Borders, Scotland. It was only in 1640 that a church was built on this site, at Deuchar, to replace the parish church of St. Mary of the Lowes, by that time standing dilapidated in a remote and inconvenient situation near Kirkstead, overlooking St. Mary's Loch. In 1771 this new church was almost wholly rebuilt and in 1826 it was altered; half a century later it was again renovated. Further reconstruction in 1906 altered the original plan; the oblong church with a central cross-aisle now becoming a cruciform one. In 1922 this building was burnt down, only the bare walls being left. By the following year these surviving elements had been repaired and the fabric restored as a whole. The only features of antiquarian interest left are the bell, a sundial and the two doorways.
