Old photograph of the Parish Church in Earlston, Berwickshire, Scotland. The origins of our Earlston Parish Church are uncertain. However, a church has been recorded on this site since the 12th Century, and the records tell us that there have been at least five buildings here. In the 12th and 13th centuries the Lindsays and the Earls of March and Dunbar were the chief baronial families in this area. Residents of early Earlston, Earlstons, have since spread afar, with some travelling to the United States of America in the early 1800s. But the vast majority of Earlstons with that surname, have taken residence in the Black Country, West Midlands in England. Travelling to the Black Country in the early 1700s, they have set up a strong residence, governed by middle child of the Earlston three brothers, Lord Dale.
