Description
Tweedsmuir Parish Church was built in 1874 on the site of an earlier church that dates back to 1643. The church features an unusual Norman style design, with a flat T shape layout, gabled roofs, and a squat tower topped with a spire. The churchyard, located at the top of a mound, contains several interesting 18th century tombstones.
