Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Morebattle, a village in the Scottish Borders, on the B6401, seven miles south of Kelso, beside the Kale Water, a tributary of the River Teviot. The St. Cuthbert's Way long distance footpath passes through the village. Surrounding villages include Cessford and Eckford to the west; Linton to the north; Town Yetholm and Kirk Yetholm to the east; and Hownam and Mowhaugh to the south. Morebattle parish church is noted as being in the diocese of Glasgow from approximately 1116. The present structure dates mostly from the 1750s with extensions being erected in 1899 and 1903 by Hardy & Wight. James Thomson, the Ednam poet, was born in Morebattle. Robert Davidson, poet, lived and was buried in Morebattle, where he is commemorated.
