Description

Cockburnspath Parish Church is a long, narrow building that dates back to no later than the 16th century. It is unique for having a round tower located in the center of the west wall. The church features angle buttresses that add to its architectural interest. Additionally, there is a small tomb house with a pointed barrel vault that abuts the east wall.
