Church Overview

The church stands in a dominating site close to Borthwick Castle with magnificent views across the countryside. The east part of this historic church is substantially medieval with its 12th century apse and the 15th century Arniston Aisle. The west end with its tower and broach spire were added by Brown & Wardrop in 1864. Medieval fabric survives inside as well, with the magnificent Borthwick tomb and pre-Reformation piscina.

Latterly the historic church served Middleton village, Borthwick and the surrounding area. but it was deemed surplus to missional requirements by the Church of Scotland and marketed for sale, for offers over £50,000, in January 2020. It has since been converted into a private home.
