Old Photograph Church Bowden Scotland

Old photograph of the church in Bowden located three miles South of Melrose, Scottish Borders, Scotland. This church and its predecessors have stood here for over 850 years. When the great Border Abbeys were being founded by David I, monks from Selkirk who were to found Kelso Abbey were granted land in Midlem, Bowden and Eildon. This grant was transferred to Kelso Abbey in 1128 and from then on there has been a Christian presence in Bowden.
